TTCC Autumn Run

Last Sunday saw yet another Taunton Tweed Cycle Chic ride.  This time we ventured from Vivary Park to North Curry, and numbered 19 riders.  The weather was positively continental and a marvellous time was had by all.  After meeting up we made our way through town, with Neil causing quite a stir on his 1882 Ordinary Bicycle (Penny Farthing).  The route took us along the canal and then down the beautiful back roads to North Curry.  We had a fine lunch and a few pints at The Bird In Hand and entertained ourselves with a selection of songs from the Saddlebag Songbook.  Thanks to all who came and made it such a great day.

I made a little film of the ride…

The soundtrack is ‘The Continental’ performed by the Lew Stone Band featuring Nat Gonella on vocals.  It was transferred from 78rpm record via my HMV163 Gramophone and a studio condenser mic.

Here are a few more photos of the day…

 

Thanks to Tom for some of the photos

The Great British Tea Party

It’s been a while so here is a little post about ‘The Great British Tea Party”.  This is a new venture from a couple of my tweed cycling/ukulele friends.  In there own words…

The Great British Tea Party offers the genteel experience of afternoon tea from the back of a beautifully restored Morris Minor van. The simple pleasure of a cup of tea in a china cup and a slice of cake made with love. GBTP provides a tea and cake service for weddings, parties and events.

The Night Owls played the launch party and a marvellous time was had by all.
