Jill Sparrow 10,336 Posted Saturday at 03:57 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 03:57 PM I like Retford. Had to go there regularly for meetings on Chancery Lane a few years ago. Always took the opportunity to have a toddle round the town at lunchtime. Some nice old buildings in Retford. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,204 Posted Saturday at 04:27 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 04:27 PM Had our Covid jabs this morning then came home to watch the old farts playing Seniors championship snooker. Interesting game, however, it does amuse me that it's called seniors, when I'm old enough to be most of ems dad ! Still, I can't complain. Been a scorcher today and if it's the same tomorrow, it'll be murder up at Sheffield Park. But I love it when it's busy. Wonder if Plantfit bought a new bike frame while in Retford.?

plantfit 7,654 Posted Saturday at 05:23 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 05:23 PM No new bike frame BK, I got enough bikes (for now), did manage to sell the Raleigh Activator 2 the other day so a bit more room in the shed, got to get the show bikes ready for the first show soon but before I do that It's always nice to have a ride out on them (not the penny farthing junior though), Rog 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
