:: Greetings from Scotland! Another postcard just in from Josie .... AUGUST 2002 Dear anyone who's still with me, just about kept my head above flash flood water in England's wintery and very wet northeast where it's dropped a month's load of rain in 24 hours. Now made it up the side to Berwick where I turned left and went like the clappers, I mean, I went through Clappers and now flitting in and out of Scotland as I follow the border and the bulging at the seams of Tweed to Coldstream and all points west. As I've spent so spectacularly long to get this far (nearly 3,500 miles Land's End to Scotland and more months than I'd care to mention) a new idea has taken hold: knees willing, I'm 'doing' England and Wales this year (and last year) and Scotland and Ireland next year. Meanwhile, it's so cold up here all bananas are refusing to open. love Josie PS: next book out August 2003 so keep finely honed and toned and tomed ... |

:: Greetings from Humber Bridge! This postcard from Josie arrived the other day...  |
20.07.02 Resumed coastal ride on St. Swithin's Day. Thankfully it didn't rain then but it's making up for it now as I lie in a semi-flooded field beneath the Humber Bridge. Slugs are sliming all over tent — fat sausage-sized beats. On nocturnal pee mission, put bare foot in shoe and squashed a slug. Not the most delightful sensation I've ever had! Found a wallet in the gutter yesterday — crammed with cash and credit cards. Hoorah! I thought. I can be rich yet! But honesty got the better of me and by way of some spectacular detective work, if I may say so myself, I reunited it with its rightful owner — a manager of a construction company. He kissed me enthusiastically and said I'd saved his life, which I thought a tad dramatic. He insisted I have £20 reward. How touching & how useful — will buy 10 tonnes of porridge immediately! |
