Truro in Cornwall, its Cathedral and a Flat Tyre on my Mobility Scooter fixed with two dining forks

I drive down to Cornwall to visit the lovely City of Truro and the Cathedral. Unfortunately Muriel, my mobility scooter had a flat from tyre which had fixed in a bicycle shop. However they didn't put the tyre casing back on properly and it took the ingenuity of a young man in Tesco to provide me with the tools I needed.

Thanks for sharing. Amazing what "four candles" will do!! 🤣🤣

LOL So you remember that sketch by the Tow Ronnies. It certainly made me laugh. Cheers Michael

I love a Cathedral too. Looks amazing. I didnt realise how relatively new it was. Glad u got Muriel sorted. 👍

[@michaelchartres]

It is a beautiful building, fantastic masonary work for such a young Cathedral. Thank for watching. Regards Michael

[@mikehebdentrains]

That model would look good in your loft :)

[@michaelchartres]

It would indeed but I haven't the space. LOL and regards Michael

Its a shame that Truro Cathedral is so squeezed between other buildings Michael, and like you I love the architecture of Cathedral's and why is Mandy not accompanying you this time, hope she is well, I look forward to more on Cornwall, always a favourite County, best wishes, take care, Colin.

Thank you Colin. Mandy had other things to do but as I write this we are touring together in Scotland, her in her little RomaHome (Rosalie) and me in Gwendolyn. My next video will be my visit to Porthleven (Cornwall), the home of Guy Gibson hero of The Dam Busters. Cheers Michael

I like to see the cathedrals standing high above the cities as I travel the length and breadth of the land by train. As for Truro, I must admit that I do not know where it is, I cannot place it on a map in my minds eye. I shall correct that today. I wonder if Muriel is trying to get her own channel on KZbin, you do have some incredible adventures in her company. All the best Michael, take care. Regards, David.

David, I must admit that until Mandy and I went to Jamaica Inn and on from there, I didn't know either BUT it is the Capital of Cornwall !! Yes Muriel is a great addition to my means of transport. I get to see things I no longer could. Regards Michael

[@trainsontuesday]

@@michaelchartres Well, I looked on Google maps and I see that Truro is north of Halifax Nova Scotia! Seriously though I have ridden the train from Paddington to Penzance at least twice but I don't recall going through Truro.

Fork handles not 4 candels 🙂 When young I got into trouble for using kitchen spoons for my bike tyres. I am with you about Cathedral building being a wonder and it must have been very expensive to use the traditional skills at Truro but it will not suffer the same way as concrete as the iron bars rust.

[@michaelchartres]

It was really good to see the skills used. The building is magnificent.
