Hello Wiggo

I have been meaning to write this blog entry for some time but things have just got in the way. When we are out and about we see and encounter many interesting things from remote obelisks to emus. One particular encounter made us all smile, while out in the Kent countryside over Chilham way we saw an old guy out for a walk along a quiet road in the middle of nowhere. This was at the height of Bradley Wiggin's challenge for the 2012 tour. As we pulled alongside him, without looking round he called out "Hello Wiggo" in this cut glass English accent, we nearly fell of our bikes laughing. Earlier in the ride while sheltering like the soft lads that we are from the rain we saw a Lamborghini which I think I have later identified as a Gallardo (pronounced Giardo apparently) made a nice noise anyway

And a more dramatic picture although the one we saw was not doing this kind of stuff

Finally we passed a guy walking towards us that both Rob and I say "did you see that guy off the telly back there?" There followed much debate as to who the guy actually was and we finally agreed he was a kind of art historian kind of guy that does documentaries. Well a bit of digging reveals him as David Starkey who is indeed "off the telly" and he lives in a manor house over Chartham way.

 Quite an eventful ride all told, but I think "Hello Wiggo" will go down as one of the all time greats
