Well 'The Festive Thing' done and now just a few days left of 2008. New Year? It's simply another day. Yet the 'Cycle' begins again, renewal & 'fresh ideas and ''promises''...all to be broken of course.

Yes it is the old cliche' of 'Never judge a book by it's cover'...
 
Back from a few days off, one minute in the West End of London, the next on the ferry slip at Knott End on Sea! [And for those that don't know Knott End...and why the hell should You!?.. It's either a certain type of Swiss Clinic or Knott End! Both end the same way! [sic!]

Yes it is Sunday morning and no i haven't 'got religion'!....
 
What i am alluding to is the increasing debate about 'internet shopping 'v' the store',
Virtual 'v' Visceral.... tapping a keyboard and exposing your credit card to every fraudster in Eastern Europe, South America or even Amersham in Bucks!...or simply being part of the process, in touch in a very direct way.

Right so let me get this out in the open! This morning my 'beloved' chic Clio had should we say 'technical difficulties' (Editor - Needs a water bottle!)

I'm stating this before the Biketreks jungle telegraph gets to work and ridicules France's best! -5c in the southern hemisphere of Lancaster and the 'challanges' began! So thank gods for my 50quid Barbour 'horse blanket'! And has everyone knows i 'don't do coats!'....
