The greatest luxuries in life are Knowledge and Experience …..
...so said Jamie Oliver ........(Philosopher extraordinaire) Summer 07
As a Cycle Cafe with limited parking available only to Cycle support vehicles and some workshop attendees we ask all others to kindly walk from the village car park , some 300 yards away . Sometimes people find this hard to understand , so we thought we'd post this poem ....
Ode to the Car Driver
As you sit and read this page
From the comfort of your car
And seek the closest parking space
 Remember, life is not a race –
and good things come from a slower pace
……………..to savour it is best by far
CONSIDER please for just a while
To stretch your legs ..its no great trial
It’s good to walk – (it’s good to talk )
And totals less than half a mile
‘ 300 YARDS back ? ’ you say
I’m feeling rather tired today
‘and doubt that I can manage THAT -
I’d really rather drive away ‘
and so you may ….we shall reply
& …..if you choose to wonder why …
It could be for the best
As parking in the roads
Upsets our 'Happy Village Quest' and ...
'Thinking of our Neighbours' Code !
But, if you were so brave to try
You ‘d reach us on a ‘healthier high’
And feel you really do deserve
the scones & cream we’ll wait to serve
The reason we’re a tranquil place
Is due to certain lack of pace
And car free views of rolling hills
With Castle, cats and endless space.
 So give yourself a lovely walk
to find a peaceful time to talk
and watch the world go quietly by
It’s good for you - so why not try !
