The wind was also making a fair racket, funneling down the chimney and across the roof tiles. Not really sorry to see the back of the wind, one of my least favourite elements...particularly when cycling in it!! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4528#post-48190 Sun, 27 Nov 2011 18:06:03 +0000 custard 48190@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>next weeks looking better </p>
