I changed the oil and filter on the bike 10 days ago and it hasn't turned a wheel since. I missed a lovely spell of warm sunny weather in my covid fog,now I'm starting to feel better,the weather has turned Wintery.

Still,I have poxy decorating to do. :roll:

Pulled my finger out today getting the pic uploaded, then re-read the challenge, to discover it’s mean’t to be a street, pub or building.

But here’s a pic of the old girl herself for inspiration.

I had a trip to sunny Southport today - first time I've used a clear visor this year.

Rode past a park named after Queen Vic but then, just afterwards, passed quite possibly the closest thing to a real-life Fawlty Towers I've ever seen, also named after Victoria (and her other half).

Bonus park pic at the end.

Next - your bike with by a farm shop, egg stalls by a gate etc. also count.

Not the best picture, but there's a statue of a horse* on the roundabout

Image

If this is ok the next challenge is your bike at a pub named after a person



*Technically it's not a horse, it's a pony. The roundabout is known locally as "the pit pony"

Bugger, the only pub here like that is named after ALL of us (The Britisher).. which so far has had (all on separate occasions) three people shot to death, two wounded, one stabbed/dead & another beaten the death..... so its not somewhere I go these days

It's really mild here at the mo. 16 degrees today,in November ffs. The problem is,it's also wet and windy,slimy roads covered in wet leaves,etc. I don't do that anymore.

Saturday or Sunday is looking more positive for a short ride,I'll get a coffee shop shot if it is.
