Andrew-S:
My personal summary of 2020, is simple - it's been shit, apart from my youngest son Matt who married his fiancé Issy on Sunday in Winchester.  They brought the wedding forward from August so that my wife Bev who is sadly terminally ill could be there, such a lovely thing to do.

Here's the happy couple:

K2-K6:
That's more difficult for you even than your own health that you've shared with us Andrew.

Certainly a son you can both be proud of, and also daughter. What a lovely photo of them both.

Kind thoughts for you and your family.

Nigel.

mike the bike:
I forgot to mention the other bike on the drive.
While talking to a mate about the number of bikes he's got (12¾), only two being rideable.  He had a surplus Lexmoto 125 which he offered it to me for free.
I asked my son and he said yes.  Next day, Adrian shows up in a car towing bike trailer with the Lexmoto.
After buying a battery, throttle cable, grips and a lock set, it was ready for the MOT.
My lad passed his CBT and we went on a 50 mile rideout to the seaside.
Because he works in the middle of Cardiff,  he saves £8/day on the train and parks it all day long for free.

So sorry to  hear how sh*tty the year has been for you Andy. My thoughts are with you mate.

Personally for me its been a bit weird. Lockdown and furlough for me meant for the 1st time since I left Uni (43 years ago)  I have had extended periods in the garage to get stuck into my many (14) bike projects. This prompted me to tell lthe guy I work for 3 days a week, when he wanted me to dropdown temporarily to two days, that I only want to do 1 day permanently from now on. He then took on  so much work related to what I do for him,  that last week I did the 1 day as agreed but had to work an extra 43 hours to fulfill  one of his promises to a customer. Problem is he holds the ace card as he has the bead blaster,which I use constantly  ;D .....Something has to give next year though. 

All I can say though, is thank God for bike projects...they brought me through and out of a bout of severe depression about 8 years ago (my lovely doctor suggested I rekindle my bike hobby ....in order to de-focus on everyday hassles)  and saw me through this years trials and tribuations during lockdown etc. Plus I have made some fantastic friends because of them, including members here.
