Lovely ride in this morning. Weather seems to be playing its usual tricks,alternating between extremes of temperature over a couple of days.

On my return, I thought I would make things interesting by taking one of the longer circuits home riding a couple of miles out of my way to pass Low Barns, which happens to be the family home of Jonny Wilkinson.

In case you do not know he is the latest to attain super star status from his exploits for England in winning the Rugby World cup.

Passing their home, although there were loads of Media people hanging about, Jonny had not been seen since arriving through Newcastle airport.
Talking to one of the Reporters they think he had avoided the Paparratzi (sp) by helicoptering over to Slaley Hall...
To far away for me to cycle that way, as I had put in a busy tiring morning at work and wanted to get home to relax....
