Gorgeous Alix - you are looking 'great' girlfriend, writes Paddy Boyce.
'Red Route Master double deckers typically known for their connection to vintage years.
Yesterday, our 'route master' was pushed to it's limits and pedal thrashed - a true classic vintage rally - third lane of the M4, M3, M25 and M23 (virtually) fighting off Aston Martins.
A lovely 'site seeing' detour enjoying the sights of Hammersmith flyover, Chiswick Bridge, Twicks, etc.
On bus service with drinks and snacks to boot - beats sleazy jet for 'service with a smile' any day of the week.
Final arrival destination 3 hours later - Littlehampton (via the Burbs).
Sea swim by many Serpentinians in the wind, rain and waves. Not quite the Channel, but an hour of bobbing about between flags for some.
Fish and chip lunch - fit for Kings (even Queens).
Route Master homeward bound was I hear eventful as the trip down. Quiz, disco classics and much laughter and banter - a great day had by all.
Many Thanks go out to Lorraine, Kirstie and Norman for much behind scenes work to make the trip such a floorless wonder.
