A lovely sunny morning and as I ride along I notice there is more water in this river than there was two days ago

No one appears to be watering their fields today, nature did the job for them over the last two days

Finally I start on the offroad and for a change there is no dust about today

The totally dry reservoir I found on tuesday has this in it now but nothing much

Easy riding on this surface

A bit slippery in places through here

I catch them up and they are struggling to get up that hill, its a bit steep but the Wave go up easily enough without sliding about

Lots of new rubber trees

She is busy cutting the grooves for the rubber sap to ooze out from

A nice warm day, ideal to dry out my still damp clothes from tuesdays wet ride

Good documentation of the kiln era.
Just noticed your Nan numberplate Colin.
 
Not my bike with the numberplate on Ron, ironically Niyom Phanich phoned me yesterday to inform me that my numberplate is now at the shop waiting for me
