Tour of Britain

On Thursday the Tour of Britain Stage 5 came through Kirkoswald. In honour of the occasion I made Uno Re-Cycleo. He took a day to make but I was very pleased with the outcome and he has been greatly admired. He had hoped to participate in the Tour but found out too late that his entry number was invalid and no mono cycles were allowed.

Bobby Barley did not want to miss out on the fame and glory. He had been practising wheelies in the Artful orchard. In doing so he fell off his bike and had to be wrapped in a silver recovery blanket. He did manage to crawl to the garden wall to wave to the fans, the cyclists and his own fan club members. It is suspected that his designer Calvin DeKline sunglasses were the cause of the fall.

Hi biker dudes

I made yellow bunting in the shape of yellow jerseys and bicycle seats.

It is amazing what you can knit and crochet
