Things in the world of Maddy Bell have more ups and downs than a roller coaster on a rough sea at the moment.

Its been a bit of a strange week, this time last week I was in Hamburg!

Well, for better or worse i'm back in Yorkshire, I won't say home as its not. I'll bore you with some photo's and stuff later when I've had a bit of a chance to sort the 3.5k images!

Greetings from Kalmar in Sweden!

So, the time is almost here to visit the other land of my fore fathers, Sweden.

Well it's the end of an emotional day for me, a day spent removing my chattels from my home of some thirty years. A day in which i've had to make some hard choices, do I take this, leave that, can I live without something or add iit to the go pile.

So here we are again.

Well the initial shock of Thursday has subsided so I can be a little more rational now. Just to recap, I got home from my ride Thursday afternoon to find my home of 30+ years had been repossessed, literally at that point my possessions ran to what I was wearing and the bike! Not a good place to be for sure.

Oh for some predictable weather! One day its warm and sunny, later the same day we get biblical rainfall! I did manage to get yesterday's ride in before the rain - but only by getting up quite early to go out!
