Some more freedoms

 Easy to see there is an election coming up, travel restrictions were eased a bit earlier than expected, our ability to travel further than the county line has been legalised so of course we decided to have an impromptu Norton layby meeting. It caught me on the hop and meant I didn't have a brace of Nortons ready for the meeting so the modern Triumphs had to do.

I will hopefully look back on these posts in a couple of years and be astounded by the incredibly weird times we are living in. I hope for everybody's sake this is the beginning of the end for this bloody pandemic and I hope to god I don't see another one.

I think we are all hoping the whole world gets back to normal soon (except the wars and terrorism thing, we could do with seeing the back of that as well) In our case we just want to be able to travel around Europe and meet up with friends, not too much to ask I don't think.

Saturday we were joined by Bill who quite by coincidence was coming out his drive as we passed, a good turnout and although only three Nortons turned out there was a very eclectic display of bikes at the meeting. I have to say it was great to see everyone and get a chance for some socially distanced face to face chat, Zoom, Whatsapp and E mail are all very well but the interaction with other humans is something I'm sure we all miss. Pictures tell the story.

Oh and it seems e mail notifications about updates are stopping soon, no idea why, just keep popping in if you want to keep up with the Nonsense
