Fame at last...

I finally found out why I have been having trouble registering the Rocket this week. Would you adam and eve it... The whole problem is simply that the V5 Certificate issued by DVLA has a typo on it YEP! the VIN is missing the first character so now I have to send the V5 back to DVLA to have the error corrected and hopefully convince them to send the form back to me here in France. Then it should sail through the registraton process... You would have thought they would have spotted that sooner - even triumph couldn't work it out.

Wendy has been under the weather since Billy, Lissy and Ryan went back home, she has had a bad head flu, which has knocked her for six and to add to it for her I forgott to change a booking. Which resulted in us having 3 guests on a day which Wendy thought she had for resting... Wrong, not only did they come but we had a passer by Harley Davidson Rider and his Girlfriend drop in unxepectedly making it 5 for B&B plus evening meal.

The 3 guys pictured below, Steve, his son Glen and Tony, stayed a 3rd night whilst they waited for parts for Tony's BMW GS, not that we were complaining of course.

So they spent a day resting, doing some admin and walking through the forrest behind the house.

Tony & Glen explore a group of derelict houses

We were surprised to discouver that they were logging not
200M behind the house and we couldn't hear them...

Steve Proves he is domesticated

Tony tucks into 3rds of home made apple pie

Tony not being out done by Steve

They did finally leave but not after another scare as the GSer
misbehaved and refused to start untill it was fiddled with...

We managed a day out today and even managed to get a test ride on a Harley Davidson an XL883Low - sometthing Wendy has been dieing to do the model she is riding is a 2006 model with only 265 KMs on the clock and for a snip at 6800 euros we will see if we can get a test ride on a Suzuki Intruder tomorrow and compare them for rideability and value - then Wendy can decide which if any she would like to have and ride.

Pictures of the outside area...

I have wandered around the outside area this morning and taken a few panarama photos of the house front and back - and why not...

Most of our daytime activity has been maintenance of the grounds and of course enjoying the sunshine by the splash pool.

Both of us have very nice tans now - thank you - I have been a little sore I must admit after spending a few hours reading by the pool...

This is the 1st view people get as they enter Le Theil from the West

This is her second home and she claims to be growing stuff...
