Icing on the cake, the bars are all shuttered up until easter and the beaches have been closed by the police. I […]

Among my group of L-plated wannabe bikers was a woman just a bit younger than me, who told me she was doing it because she was ‘tired of riding pillion and looking at the back of hubby’s helmet’. She had the guts to pass her test (sadly, I didn’t) […]
