The charity cycle went well

 

Over £5,000 was collected, more than expected,

and a lot more than previous years.

Bikes with 6 brakes, one could float on lakes 

and another had 47 gears.

 

One had 4 saddles, another had big paddles,

and one was completely made of plastic.

It was a lot of fun, nobody cared who won,

and the atmosphere was absolutely fantastic.

Summer's on the way

 

I don't know why, but from the 1st July,

the summer seems to begin,

the weather is brighter, clothes become lighter,

and everyone wants to swim.

 

Skirts become shorter, everyone heads for water,

and meals are eaten in the garden,

people smile a lot more, keep within the law,

and say sorry, excuse me and pardon.

A new shop in Wensleydale Well

 

They're building a new shop in Wensleydale Well,

but we're not exactly sure what they will sell.

 

They may be selling shoes or may be selling clothes,

it's a complete mystery and nobody knows.

 

They've been working on the shop for over a week,

we've tried to find out, but nobody wants to speak.

 

We've asked the local authorities but drawn a total blank,

We've even asked quetions at the place where they bank!

An American festival

 

Fireworks in the sky, the 4th of July,

tomorrow is an important day,

A barbeque outdoors, a picnic in the Moores,

spend it in any happy way.

 

A party in a club, lunch down the pub,

you decide what you want to do,

A party for 102, a tea party for just a few,

or a romantic meal for two.

A 24 hour Yacht race

 

It will be time well spent, at this annual event,

watching this famous yacht race,

Yachts sailing fast, sails flapping on each mast,

'Independence' is often in 1st place.

 

A fast pace, wind in their face,

the Captain's shouting each instruction,

Telling the crew, exactly what to do,

avoiding sinking and destruction.

 

It'll be a fun day, we'll have the results on Monday.
