A casual stroll to Lord Byron’s place

We make plans for the Gods’ amusement. I drove an hour for a special Sunday/holiday bike ride, only for my left cleat (the thing that clips into the peddle) to completely fail. I didn’t have spares to hand and I couldn’t buy a new set due to Sunday trading hours. 🙄 Rather than curse my bad luck I switched to a several mile walk to Newstead Abbey instead, family home Lord Byron. The Abbey and I go way back, my own (slightly more humble) family home was nearby.
