I like the way that you have managed to get yourself sponsored for your road trip, Steve. Every photo you are in has a strategically placed bit of merchandise. I think you need to re-consider your product placement message though – beer, cigarettes, fast cars and a pigeon. There might be impressionable young people seeing you living that lifestyle! Not that I am envious!

Tango (there you go again!) has had a good couple of days I think. She has done a wide variety of parks. Luke, Emily and I took her for a cycle yesterday. As her concerned parents, I am not sure that I should be telling you this. I haven’t told Anna yet that I had Emily on the kids seat at the back and Tango in my hand. She trots along quite happily, although you will be relieved to hear that I did walk most of the way! I thought about doing it the other way around but she caused a bit of disruption. Tango was fine, it was Emily with the dog collar who didn’t like running down the hills next to me.
