Finally Finished Fence Fantastic!!

The fence looks much better now that it has been capped off with split bamboo!The plan is to hide what can still be seen of the sheds with trees which will be donated ( again) by Mr.K. Great thanks to him!Also to Mr. U.


This will be a small Japanese style garden built by Mr. K. Looks great already but will be even better with the addition of some plantings.We will probably take out the small rock in the middle.

Meinohama Driving School Bike Event

It was a sweltering hot day.But I still enjoyed riding nice shiny Harleys.
I really like the Sportster.It even went round corners pretty well.Nice smooth power delivery too!
This is the Harley Cross Bones or something.A bit like a circus clown bike.I touched down the floorboards twice.Even at the slow speeds I was doing round the test track!

Breakfast At Current Then Kayaking At Nogita

This morning we decided to go to Current, a favourite restaurant near us for breakfast.We love the view from the terrace tables.
They do a pretty good set menu which comprises several types of bread,a salad, soup,bacon and eggs and a bottomless cup of coffee.Good value for 770 yen.

Jake took this photo of me.It looks like I have a green Mohican haircut!
After breakfast we went to Nogita beach for some swimming and kayaking .It was Jake's first time in a kayak but I was impressed that he didn't get seasick or scared at all.He loved it!We went over to a rocky islet not far from the shore.It was a little choppy in the sea but still great fun!I look forward to doing it again soon.

Latest Fence Report

Well, the fence has taken another step towards completion.We did a few hours work on it today.Including trips to pick up more bamboo.It still needs about one more day's work to finish.
But I think it is looking pretty good!
