@FourT4 Thanks. I was wondering how the new organisation and date would compare. I'm pleased the event continues, although I suspect more has been lost than gained from the changes. I don't recall the old organisation needing to invest in a full page advertisement in Cycling Weekly to generate entries.

Cracking day out on the South Island Randonnée although numbers were way down on last year's event. On the plus side I didn't miss the May Bank Holiday traffic queues where the route crosses the approaches to Ryde. Gentle SE wind meant the run along the Military Road was the fastest ever. #IsleOfWight #cycling #BikeToot

Time and Place: Solomon Butler and Charlotte
I had previously posted most of this material separately, but I wanted to bring it together to show the full picture. Back when I first wanted to know the family history, I was told that we were descendants of Solomon Butler, a free Black man, and a "slave girl." The story preserved Solomon’s name, but not Charlotte’s. Why had her identity disappeared from the family account?

The plans form part of a major initiative by Nationwide Building Society to provide #defibrillators and #bleed control kits at every one of its branches by the end of the year, making it the first banking provider to carry out such a scheme across its entire network.

The town of #Cowes on the north side of the #IsleOfWight functions as the main #port for passengers from the #Mainland. It is bisected by the mouth of the #RiverMedina, which forms a cleft in the #Island. To cross from one side to the other, instead of the #bridge, the town has a small #Ferry guided by chains, which works all day and late into the evening to transfer pedestrians and road users from one side to the other.
