UK bike tour!

Our deepest apoligies, dear readers, for that cliff-hanger which we abandoned you on some half dozen fortnights past. The past moon's phase has seen many new developments for the now-augmented Calliope. It has been some time since we returned to the United Kingdom, with our new tap-dancing mandolinist, Sarah, and our faithful English double bassman, Tim themostenglishpersonweveevermet. After much faffing about, we are due to leave this fair citadel Brighton which has been our home for the past several weeks, and begin to cycle west along the south coast of England, into Cornwall and back out, and then on to Wales, Ireland and Scotland until we finally re-enter England from the North, sometime in the far off future. It seems this bicycle tour will take much longer than any of us expected, and we imagine it to be nearing an end sometime deep into winter, possible in January. but for now, it has yet to begin! and alas, we cannot see what even the very near future will bring us, but wish us luck, dear readers, for we shall very sorely need it on this windswept, desolate island!
