Having now returned back home after 6 months travelling in UK I'd like to thank several people
As some of you may know, I had planned to visit Europe, UK and Ireland, 2 months each, however this got .....shall we say hugely modified when I was pushed off my bike heading into Southampton heading to see Pete Thomas. I intended to visit for the night and be on my way to meet Taz, AndyG and a few others up in Rugby the following week.
My blog tells most of it, which is in the Blogs section of this forum, but what it doesn't say, is that I want to thank several Forum people for there help and kindness.
Old Git, more than kindly offered his lovely bike for me to use for the trip, even gave me a helmet, gloves, bags and spares for the journey. Bill helped me assemble the trailer, and to get on the road and fulfill my dream of cycling and busking. I am extremely sorry that the bike got damaged (not too seriously) and it was Bills wish that I sell it at the end of the trip and donate any funds to Pete's Charity, which I have done! An extremely generous donation.
Pete actually took me into A&E, and hosted me for some time after, while I got semi sorted and qued up to get operations in Poole Hospital. I returned to visit Pete and his family several times, and humbly thank them for being so kind and helpfull.
I had hoped to meet more Cafe Sax people, than I did, various circumstances just simply got in the way, which frustrated me no end however, sometimes you simply cannot push water uphill!
We have a fabulous forum here with excellent very friendly people.
I did manage to complete one Buskermania event in Stratford, special thanks to wemeet again, AndyG & Fraser Jarvis and also Jules in Crowborough and Pete Canter in Devon!
Now reflecting upon what I've learnt, what I want to do next, and to be grateful of the oppertunity to do what I do!
Many thanks.....I intend to return next year for the much improved rerun without the hiccups!
It was quite an adventure, like no other I've been on!
Cheers from home base in New Zealand
