#365daysofbiking Eccentricities:

December 23rd - It’s now traditional for me to have a day out somewhere different before Christmas. Today I visited Ashbourne, a place I’ve passed through lots but rarely stopped and studied.

The architecture and frantic air of business was fantastic, but what I really liked was the small, eccentric details: St Oswald’s Church with the afterthought clock and gothic gateposts with the skull detail. The Art Nouveaux staircase in the entry to an outdoor shop.

This little, but very dense valley town is utterly gorgeous. I must return at a more relaxed time.

Oh, and the cycling content? I test rode a new bike while I was here. Wel, a couple actually but that’s another story...

#lookafterthepenniesandthepoundswilllookafterthemselves well today in the skip we found a fair bit of #moneytobesaved #gatefixings about £40 to buy new #gateposts of the old but much better quality (new ones are rubbish these days and won’t last 5/10 years) and have at at least another 10 years in them £50 each then there’s a big post same old quality and a farmer from the north would have repaired the gate. All in all a big saving oh and I forgot it costs to dispose of treated timbers!! Think we will fish what’s usable out and save at least £200 for #Wimpole which equates to at least two memberships. And another thing, every time you buy things it costs energy and the environment to make them what is wrong with using something that’s not new but perfectly usable if we all took this view the environment would be infinitely better
