What's news about meeting and talking to an Afro-Carribean cyclist in deepest Somerset?

Today, during an hour's walk through the beautiful countryside near my home, I was surprised to meet an Afro-Carribean dressed in full kit for a long stint at cycling.

It was a very expensive bike with the latest in gear-changing equipment. 

1. Should I have been surprised?
2. Should I be ashamed? 
3. Should I have noticed?
4. Does the noticing mean I'm a prejudiced bastard because he spoke with an upper-class English accent.

1. But I do confess to being surprised.
2. I do feel ashamed by my reaction.
3. I should not have noticed.
4. I was wrong to be surprised by his upper-class English accent...

I hope that no one will notice and/or come up with better answers than mine in a generation's time (I am 70 years old) - especially when I'm related by marriage to someone as charming as Ade, who moved his family to Australia hoping to escape a life marred by color-prejudice in the UK.

Comments, as ever, welcome!

Blogging begins again

After a few weeks off with depression, a second opinion is demonstrating that it can be 'cured'.

Now finances are looking as healthy as they ever were, I'd like to thank loyal readers for continuing to visit.

Only trouble is that my Mac computer is misbehaving - on which, more anon...

And comments, as ever, are welcome.

Cartooning revisited?

Time to start blogging again - with thanks to loyal readers who have continued visiting since I became ill with depression. A recent second opinion says it won't be long until I'm a lot better...
