A big thanks to Blue Knights England XI for a great weekend and ride today (even though the weather was terrible).

Agh damn I discovered my pannier is leaking, not good when it is pouring with rain.

I have only ever put the rain cover on my tank bag twice & both times have been on this holiday. 😏

It was an honour to be asked to lay the wreath on behalf of Blue Knights UK & Ireland at the COPS (Care of Police Survivors) memorial service, and I was proud to be there representing Australia. @ National Memorial Arboretum

After the service it was off to Wolverhampton with lots more rain on the way. The hotel was very quirky @ Barons Court Hotel

My reason for staying in Wolverhampton was to meet my Great Uncle Jack & Betty. It was fantastic to get to spend some time (if only a few hours) with them.

I had a great night for the first night of the Blue Knights England XI Law Ride. 

It was fantastic to chat to so many awesome people who made me feel so welcome. This is what bike travel and being part of the Blue Knights is all about. 😁

After many drinks I went off to bed at 0145. 🥃🍻🍻🍻🍻☕

It is raining today and I am not feeling the best. It must have been the ☕ that did it. So today will be spent doing some blog updates.

I had a terrible sleep last night because it was so hot.

I don't have far to go today, only 80 km so had a lie in and then packed up the bike (which seemed a lot harder this time, I really had to squash stuff in).

It's a much nicer day for riding, cooler and overcast. I just had a nice leisurely ride I had a quick stop at the Church of St Chad for a look.

 Next it was onto Lichfield Cathedral. Wow what a building amazing.

Yes, that does say 1222. It's hard to comprehend a building that old.

Time for a break. When in England 😁 ☕ & Scone @ Chapters.

Then I headed just down the road to Wall

Then passed Jigger.

And onto the Roman Way Hotel for the Blue Knights England XI Law Ride.

Trying something new out for size (not) 🤮
