Total Panic!
Today I found this picture on the Royal British Legion’s Facebook page:
then I found this:
Hi All, just thought I’d introduce myself. I’m one of the Paramedics who will be riding with you to Paris. See you soon. Wiggy
and then this:
All these riders from the Pedal2Paris 2013 ride, seem to be on stretcher tables although the girl in the foreground looks quite jolly which is something…
I am not very brave. I don’t mean to be ungrateful or rude, but I don’t want to see a Paramedic soon, even though Wiggy sounds absolutely charming. Do you think I am over-reacting?
In just 2 weeks, I’ll find out if I’m a feckless grasshopper instead of a worthy ant…
Oh no!
Yours thinking I should find a paper bag to start hyperventilating into,
And now I see that another new picture horror has just been posted onto the Royal British Legion’s Pedal 2 Paris Facebook page:
I think this is called ‘showing off ‘, don’t you? The cyclist is smiling for goodness’ sake.

Julia. I'm allowed to be present at editorial meetings so long as I sit at the back & colour in quietly.

All the characters you meet in The Awesome Hen live in the virtual hamlet of Perch Fell and nowhere else. They are entirely their own selves and have no alter egos in either the actual or the virtual world.
The solution to this is really quite simple – switch to a tandem with younger offspring up front putting on the pressure. If the two of you acquired a headset communication system, you could provide encouraging comments from the rear seat such as “time to put the pressure on – we’re falling behind.”
When is that actual day you start rolling to Paris?
Dear Digby, I fear that Billy, my virtual coach would disapprove of this nifty move and I’d get a stern lecture.
Kick off is Thurs, 4th Sept at 6.30 am. I can manage the Thursday & September bits but I’m not at all sure about the crack of dawn start.
I would be quite reassured that there were some nice stretchers around to stretch out on if it was me going. Especially if the sun comes out.
I like being able to stand up/ sit down & what if it rains? Oh no – there’s another thing I have to worry about!
