Enfield and Triumph


It was the last Tuesday in November as we sat down in the Admiral Hawke Pub to enjoy the evening with Chris, Sue, Peter, Anne, Steve myself and Gita. Sadly to say George and Antje were unable to get there as they were travelling back from Hamburg. The pub did us proud as they had decorated the bar and restaurant earlier than planned to create the Christmas feel just for us. The meal was very good with such generous portions that we were unable to finish the main course. We had to save room for some Christmas pud!


My Monday at the Museum had me taking down a couple of the barriers to get some clear photos of the Enfield and TT winning Triumph of Bruce Anstey's. I am hoping to visit both factories in India sometime soon and travelling with some nice photos of the bikes and any literature about them  will help to establish important links. I hope to post things as they happen while I am away. Closer to home I have just returned from staying at a spa hotel in Budock Vean near Falmouth and as usual I left fliers promoting the Museum. They were happy to put them on display as they frequently have visitors from London.






Once again the wether has not been kind. It seems that every time I get out there it rains. All through the summer, albeit the best one for ages, the weather changes as soon as I ride down the road from beautiful sunshine to monsoon rains. I have tried the oversuit insurance scheme and the rain has still found its way inside. I need to buy some new gear!
