happens to the best of us Saffy. Rule one a bike will only fall over when someone is watching, rule two a bike will always fail to start when you are demonstrting it to a possible buyer
As long as you are ok that's the main thing Saffy. I like the way you laugh at your misadventures but inside the embracement I would think is overwhelming. You were my inspiration to get back on my CBF1000 after 2 years of it been in the garage unused after illness. Thanks for that you are a diamond. Keep up the good work young lady.
I guess it's better to drop your bike when there's someone around to lend a hand, rather than when you're out by yourself in the middle of nowhere. The main thing is that you're OK. Stay safe out there. 🙂🏍💨👍
Dropped mine on Trent Bridge, Nottingham, during rush hour one time, just pulling up to a stop cos of stationary traffic, helluva windy day, got caught by a gust of wind before i could get my foot down & over it went, and the salt in the wound my foot got caught under the engine as i tried to stop it going over, so i wound up laying there for a min till a couple of kind folk got out their cars & helped me up, damn embarrassing to put it mildly!.
When u get bruised and marked from life or a bike a fall or tumble you get urself back up keep doing what ur doing cause life is to short enjoy every moment keep the content coming
Hey Saff... just laugh it off we all drop them... i let my cbr1000rr drop in the yard the other day,,, i found it funny as fuk.. my problem is that i forget to put down the side stand 😂😂.... keep going, ur great .. Tommy in Longford Ireland 🇮🇪
Great to see in Ireland Saffy. Welcome when ever you decide to visit. I love your videos and adventures, but most of all the your honesty and sense of humour is brilliant. 😊😂 Hope the weather is good for you when you come back. So many lovely places to see if you head for the South East. Worth a bit of a spin down this way. 😁👍
Hey Annette! 😊🇮🇪 Thanks so much for the warm welcome and kind words! I’m thrilled you’re enjoying the videos and adventures. Honesty and humour are what make the ride so much fun! I’ll definitely keep the South East of Ireland in mind for the next trip-sounds like there are some amazing spots to explore! Hope the weather is as fantastic as your message. Can’t wait to visit again! 😄🏍️🌟
Beautiful beach!! 😍Where was this again? The marble arch caves look amazing! Excellent footage, I will add this to my list of things to see on my travels. Oh bless you lovely. We have all done it. I am glad someone was there to help you pick your bike up. 😘
If one has a drop one should have no worries at all .... if helmet is on and the visor down .... cannot be recognized. Glad your continuing to have a good laugh and fun. Stay dry Saffron.
Happens to the best of us Saff, dropped mine on the ferry a couple of weeks ago when the stand came back up, gutted cause it was in front of other bikers...
Don’t be embarrassed. Stuff happens. I dropped my tiny 50cc in front of loads of people on a campsite at lands end. I’ve not been to Ireland yet but seeing your video makes me want to visit sooner rather than later.
Thanks for the encouragement! Dropping a bike in front of a crowd definitely happens to the best of us! 😊 I’m glad my video is inspiring you to visit Ireland-hope you get to experience it soon! 🏍️🌟
It's great seeing your videos especially they have been recorded in 4K showing the glory of the scenery while showing so much sheer enthusiasm on your rides. That cave reminds me walking about in the caves of Gibraltar used since apparently the Stone Age. However, the caves where you've explored in the video is far more spectacular looking, as the tour in Gibraltar didn't show so much splendor in my personal opinion, and that place would be on my future rides for sure..! Yes, you should NOT have any problems accepting help from bystanders when needed, as most adventure bikes and even cruisers, etc, can be exceptionally heavy. I noticed there was shuddering effect while you reversed a bit and did you trap your foot or did you accidentally let out the clutch a bit to much instead causing it to shudder causing you to become unbalanced? Have fun future rides where ever you may travel...!
Hi Saffy thanks for the video, I'm begging to realise any outing with you is bound to be a good experience even a trip to the shops, I just hope you only left a little dignity in the car park 🤗😋😘
Glad you're ok and just injured pride. Dropped mine twice now, both schoolboy errors. First forgot to take the front disc lock off🤦🏻♂️...very quickly got a stretchy disc lock reminder 😊 Second, outside the bike showroom. Left it in gear when I stopped, wondered why it wasn't starting after...ooh, the side stand is down, didn't check the neutral light, pulled the clutch in, started it up, let the clutch out thinking it was in neutral.....🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ It's the hurt pride and pure muppetiness that is the worst and flee the scene as fast as your wheels will take you 😂
5:00 Somewhere out there in mainland Europe Ichy Boots is shaking her head. Not because Saffy dropped her bike, but because she's still healing from her own motorcycle mishap.
I just watched your video the week after I did the same thing. The last time was forty years ago and I am gutted. My brother said ‘Perhaps you ought to give up riding’, just after I bought some new waterproofs! Very little damage except for my pride which is nearly mortally wounded.
Hey Toadat! 😄 I’m sorry to hear about your spill, but it sounds like you’ve got a great sense of humour about it! It’s always tough when you take a tumble, especially after so many years. Remember, even the most experienced riders have their moments. Don’t let it get you down-every ride is a chance to learn and grow. And those new waterproofs will be ready for next time! Keep your spirits up, and ride safe out there! 🏍️💪😊
I’ve been there.. I dropped mine 125 on Lidl’s car park on way out once a time 😂 Luckily I didn’t hit any car parked around. This is so stupid… The feeling of embarresment is soo overwhelming that you have extra strength and speed to lift it up! 😂
Love your content. I apreacte you sharing your adventures with us it is inspiring to see your initiative, and your get-up and go spirit is truly fantastic. I ride a cb650r and like you, I enjoy solo adventures on my bike 😅 I used to take a tent ⛺️ but now I take my hammock and tarp and can say it is so much lighter and compact and comfortable. Have you ever tried a hammock? ❤
Thank you so much! I'm thrilled you enjoy my adventures! 😊 Solo rides are the best, aren't they? I haven't tried a hammock yet, but it sounds amazing-lighter and comfier is always a win! I might have to give it a go! 🏍️❤️✨
Same happened to me a fee weeks ago, doing a u turn, bike was stopped and it went over, God knows how but it did, fortunately no damage to the bike just a few scuffs on the crash bar. Triumph Explorer 1200 XC is f%&king heavy at 267kg, took 2 of us to pick it up
One thing I think they should add to rider training is, how to safely lift a "resting" Motorcycle. Not as part of the test ( which is already over loaded) but just a 15 20 minute slot in one of the lessons. It's something that, unfortunately Will happen to almost every rider at some point and it's so easy to injure yourself with adrenalin but poor technique. Well Done!!
Absolutely, backing out with the handlebars turned can make things tricky and lead to those near-drops. It’s one of those common challenges many riders face. It’s good to hear you’re staying relaxed about it and finding your way through those moments. If you’ve got any other biking tips or experiences, feel free to share!
I have dropped mine quite a few times.At least you had somebody to help you pick it up. And trapping your wrist in the box, this is something I would do.
I dropped my bike also Saffy, last friday on gravel as i was turning into my campsite for the weekend, i suffered 3 cuts to my both shins, one big purple and maroon bruise to my knee, the same on my hand and thumb, and a big pain to my ribs, its no fun when you are 70 years old. A couple of people got my bike up for me from the campsite, glad they were there as i couldnt pick my bike up myself.
I’m really sorry to hear about your fall, but it’s great you had some help at the campsite. It’s tough dealing with those injuries, especially at 70. Wishing you a speedy recovery and safer rides ahead! 🏍️🌟
Someone should make a small portable device for righting a bike. For instance a telescopically extendable tube (like a fishing rod) that slips over one side/grip of the handlebar and acts as a lever . Or with a thingy at the end that hooks onto a front fork tube inbetween the fork clamps
always someone watching when you drop a bike lol and how did yiou shut your wrist in the pannier??? haha see you were a fan of the bacon flavour crisps 😂
It sounds like you’ve had a memorable experience with dropping a bike and a wrist in a pannier! As for the bacon-flavored crisps, they’re definitely gross 😂. I caught my arm by slamming the case repeatedly 😭 😂😂😂 If you have any funny stories or questions about biking or snacks, feel free to share!
I dropped mine in a busy car park once. It was one of those where you pay and get a token to raise the barrier on the way out. In my infinite wisdom I decided to hold the token in my left hand so I didn't have to mess about taking my gloves off etc. Fine, until someone pulled out on me as I was going through the car park...try slamming on the front brake when you're only holding on with one hand 😅😂😂
Nothing to be embarrassed about saffy, we've all done it at one time or another, I've been riding since 1974 "yep I'm old" and yet today I just managed to save my super tenere, I almost dropped her, happens to every biker 🤷♂️
Pride comes before a fall. We have ALL done it. Saffy Sprocket, I have come to the conclusion we can take you anywhere twice, even if the second time is to apologise.
Hi, I dropped my multistrada in Normandy last June luckily there was only two old French ladies looking on in amazement as I had only moved about two inches and I couldn’t understand how it happened , my wife and a kind old Frenchman who walked passed help me get the bike up and the only damage was the tip of the clutch lever had snapped off and a graze on my left leg . I stood there for a min trying to figure out why it fell then noticed I had left the disc lock on so had to try and take it off without anybody noticing 😂, the two old ladies hung around for my second attempt to get going again just in case of another spill but it was ok and the Frenchman who help gave me a wave and a thumbs up as we rode passed him further up the road. It is a bit embarrassing but lots of us have had little spills and as long as there is no damage to us then that’s all that matters , good luck stay safe . Yes I did keep my helmet on 😂
Oh wow, what a story! Normandy adventures, right? 😅 We've all had those moments-leaving the disc lock on is such a classic! So glad the damage was minimal and you had friendly help nearby. Keeping the helmet on was definitely the way to go! Thanks for sharing, and happy riding! 🏍️👍✨
Hi Saffy, I can fully sympathize with you dropping your bike like that. I dropped my bike 6 weeks ago after pulling to a stop in a petrol station. As I took my ight foot off the back brake pedal, my bike started tipping over to the right before I could get my foot planted on the ground. Down I went with my right leg trapped under the bike and somehow, my left leg got caught between the gearchange pedal and foot peg so I couldn't move. I managed to reach the ignition key and switch the bike off. Luckily, a couple of people saw me go down and came to help me. When I stood up, I quickly realised I had suffered some tendon and muscle damage to my right thigh. Anyway, I eventually managed to fill my bike up with petrol and gingerly ride home. I had 4 days of pain trying to go upstairs in our house and had a massive amount of bruising to my leg. I am currently in the process of fixing slight damage to my bike and will be out on it again soon. It happens to us all. Glad you didn't suffer any injury.
Thanks for sharing your story, and I'm sorry to hear about the injury and damage you experienced. It’s tough when these things happen, but it’s great to hear that you had help and are making progress with both your recovery and your bike. It sounds like you’ve got a good attitude about getting back on the road. Keep riding and stay crazy ❤️
Haha, those army rations are absolutely amazing 😄 I guess I'm just accident-prone, but I’ll keep rocking those cuts and bruises! Thanks for the laughs and support! 🤕🍟
Ah Saffy, there is not one serious motorcyclist who has not dropped a bike. You are far from alone on that score so no-one is judging, only sympathizing.
Many years ago I went for a haircut prior to a ride-out. Job done I got back on the bike, bumped down a large curb to rejoin a wet road, gave it a handful (too much) of revs and spun out. Hell of a racket from the engine as the tyre parted company with the tarmac and me lying in the middle of the road with bemused onlookers grinning away. What a twat! So you're not on your own, believe me.
Don’t worry Saffy, I tried to ride off from Calne Bike Meet without removing my disc lock. Luckily I was parked down a side street rather than the high street, so only two people saw me drop it. We all do it….right? 😳
It is embarrassing when you drop your bike... but we all do it. I am surprised how people seem to come out of no-where to help pick up your bike. I have not had to pick up my bike by myself yet tbh! Very entertaining as usual!
Im sure all bikers have a dropped my bike in public story. I was filling my bike up at the petrol station, fully kitted from a rally. My girlfriend went to the toilet and I was at the bike, once filled I thought I'd be decent and move my bike out the way so that the people behind me could fill up and I decided to push my bike out of the way with the bike fully loaded and me holding my helmet on one arm and my girlfriends helmet on the other arm and then I lost my grip and dropped my bike in front of all the bikers and other motorists at the very busy petrol station.
Oh wow, that’s impressive! 😄 Dropping a bike is nothing compared to that! Thanks for sharing the laughs-sometimes it’s the little mishaps that make the best stories! 🤫😂
We need to normalise dropping bikes - and encourage bike makers to design droppable bikes that take no damage from it. You see how many times Doodle drops hers? She rides humongous bikes - GSes, Harley baggers, all sorts - and when she started out dropping a bike was mentally a disaster, so embarrassing, but you get better at lifting them the more you drop them, and before you know it you're just fine with it, just a bump in the road.
Absolutely! We need more droppable bikes for sure. Doodle is such a champ with those massive bikes! Dropping a bike is just part of the learning curve, and it gets easier to handle each time. It’s all about building confidence! 🏍💪😊
@@SaffySprocket indeed, and I get that it can be hard especially in the months after an injury. I had the silliest injury going: a chap was emerging out from a parking spot, pointing the wrong way in traffic. I looked at him, he looked at me, we each thought the other was letting us go, he pinned my left leg to my bike & slowly pushed me over before his reflexes kicked in & he stopped the car. 2 months, I had blood squishing around in my foot and an infection in my leg, so I'm on my back on the sofa. You drop a bike & it all comes back.
Aww Saffy, if those Paniers are more or less still intact, there could be a "If they're Saffy Proof, You know they'll last", sponsorship heading your way. 👍🍻💞🌞🫂🌈☕️🍪
Haha, love it! If my panniers can survive my adventures, they can survive anything! 😄 Fingers crossed for that sponsorship! Thanks for the support! 🏍️💖🌈
Hi saffy, I hope you're leg 🦵 wasn't too bad, when you were eating your food I thought that looks good enough to eat 😋 then you're face was a picture with the crisps 😂, when you get another supplier you should have a t-shirt with - what is wrong with me printed on it 😂 . As a matter of interest are you still with the company as a paralegal? I want to thank you for taking the time the other day of replying to 4 previous videos I had left comments on, and the first time using my name, I thought it was my birthday 🎂 😊 It is much appreciated. Look after yourself Saffy, I hope you're keeping well, Best wishes Roy.
Important thing is that you’re okay.
I did something similar last month - just coming back from passing test too!
happens to the best of us Saffy. Rule one a bike will only fall over when someone is watching, rule two a bike will always fail to start when you are demonstrting it to a possible buyer
Kudos for accepting someone's help. You learn not to get embarrassed by these things in time.
As long as you are ok that's the main thing Saffy. I like the way you laugh at your misadventures but inside the embracement I would think is overwhelming. You were my inspiration to get back on my CBF1000 after 2 years of it been in the garage unused after illness. Thanks for that you are a diamond. Keep up the good work young lady.
There are 2 types of rider, those that have dropped their bike and those that are going to......keep smiling 😊
Very true
So true ❤️
You mean, those that can ride and those that ride...
I dropped mine in the carpark of the Victory Cafe at the IoM TT this year, with about 50 people watching. Fun times 😊
I guess it's better to drop your bike when there's someone around to lend a hand, rather than when you're out by yourself in the middle of nowhere.
The main thing is that you're OK.
Stay safe out there. 🙂🏍💨👍
Saffy I recently dropped mine at the Ponderosa cafe in front of a huge number of bikers, still embarrassed a week later
That is an embarrassing place to do it, with the amount of bikers who tend to be stood about in the carpark at any one time.
Rocket was Tired, he just laid down for a little nap 😂
Sprocketproof!😆 The new standard by which bike accessories are judged!
Afternoon off and a lazy explore. Excellent. More of that please. It is good for your health and mental clarity. ✨
Dropped mine on Trent Bridge, Nottingham, during rush hour one time, just pulling up to a stop cos of stationary traffic, helluva windy day, got caught by a gust of wind before i could get my foot down & over it went, and the salt in the wound my foot got caught under the engine as i tried to stop it going over, so i wound up laying there for a min till a couple of kind folk got out their cars & helped me up, damn embarrassing to put it mildly!.
We've all done it (More than once) don't worry about it.
The Sprocket rides or should I say ‘drops in’ my feed … another awesome vid and great entertainment 👍🏼👍🏼 cheers Saffron x
As long as your alright we have all done it at one time or an another
When u get bruised and marked from life or a bike a fall or tumble you get urself back up keep doing what ur doing cause life is to short enjoy every moment keep the content coming
Thanks for introducing me to SHAD luggage. Just installed my lockable tank bag yesterday and it is great. Thanks for another great video.

Oh bless you lovely. We have all done it. I am glad someone was there to help you pick your bike up. 😘
Dropped mine three times since March. Always when I’m at a standstill!
Mines normally on a hill or a slight incline 🤦 I’m getting better at catching myself now though
Bike droppers anonymous 😂
@@SaffySprocket haha we should start a club
If one has a drop one should have no worries at all .... if helmet is on and the visor down .... cannot be recognized.

Legitimately 😂😂😂😂😂
We have all droped bike at some point usuall when loaded lol ice cream yer makes you feel better
I am curious of how the situation with the Honda you had to leave has worked out. Seems you really liked that bike.
Jinx I dropped mine at the Wookey hole car park on Saturday … it’s all part of the adventure 😂
Oh no, again 😅 time for another unforgettable music video! Looks like it landed on some soft luggage though!
I swear by my Shad Luggage ❤️

yea dropped my new bike like 3 times all ready only had it 2 month haha comes with how i ride i guess just need to find it funny is the best way

Keep up the great work sweetheart, enjoy.
Thank you so much 😊
Waiting for proper review of your panniers
Working on it 😄
Is there any update on your other bike?
Soon!
I have dropped mine quite a few times.At least you had somebody to help you pick it up. And trapping your wrist in the box, this is something I would do.
Hey saffy what’s happened to the cb500x there has been no update yet??
Would like to know if it’s coming back at a later date date
Its coming back soon! Just lots of complications 😱
Its enroute home 🏠

It is a bit embarrassing but lots of us have had little spills and as long as there is no damage to us then that’s all that matters , good luck stay safe . Yes I did keep my helmet on 😂
Oh wow, what a story! Normandy adventures, right? 😅 We've all had those moments-leaving the disc lock on is such a classic! So glad the damage was minimal and you had friendly help nearby. Keeping the helmet on was definitely the way to go! Thanks for sharing, and happy riding! 🏍️👍✨
Hi Saffy, I can fully sympathize with you dropping your bike like that. I dropped my bike 6 weeks ago after pulling to a stop in a petrol station. As I took my ight foot off the back brake pedal, my bike started tipping over to the right before I could get my foot planted on the ground. Down I went with my right leg trapped under the bike and somehow, my left leg got caught between the gearchange pedal and foot peg so I couldn't move. I managed to reach the ignition key and switch the bike off. Luckily, a couple of people saw me go down and came to help me. When I stood up, I quickly realised I had suffered some tendon and muscle damage to my right thigh. Anyway, I eventually managed to fill my bike up with petrol and gingerly ride home. I had 4 days of pain trying to go upstairs in our house and had a massive amount of bruising to my leg. I am currently in the process of fixing slight damage to my bike and will be out on it again soon. It happens to us all. Glad you didn't suffer any injury.
Thanks for sharing your story, and I'm sorry to hear about the injury and damage you experienced. It’s tough when these things happen, but it’s great to hear that you had help and are making progress with both your recovery and your bike. It sounds like you’ve got a good attitude about getting back on the road. Keep riding and stay crazy ❤️
The amount of times Ive done that 😂😂
Honestly 😂
Is that why they're called SHAD. Safe horizontally and dropable
Saffy y have you gone back to small motorcycle🤔
Stick to the army rations as you really seemed to like the crisps lol 🤮 accident prone Saffy is back with cuts and bruises 🤕
Haha, those army rations are absolutely amazing 😄 I guess I'm just accident-prone, but I’ll keep rocking those cuts and bruises! Thanks for the laughs and support! 🤕🍟
You must be the clumsiest biker ive ever seen...but i admire yr spirit.
Saff, Have I missed something? Where is the Honda 500?
He's coming home soon 😁
I dropped my 800lb bike on the incline of a mountain road. Fortunately, someone stopped to help. I needed it. Yes the pride was sufficiently bruised.
Ah Saffy, there is not one serious motorcyclist who has not dropped a bike. You are far from alone on that score so no-one is judging, only sympathizing.
I guess that's why dessert is eaten last. Just in case ur food is grosse.
I can't believe you didn't like our national snack waffles 😢
It was just this one particular flavour, I found sour cream and they were really good!
Apparently some people forget that they fitted two disc locks, does that count as dropping or just plain stupid.
To be fair, I could see myself doing this 😂 it looks very easily done
Many years ago I went for a haircut prior to a ride-out. Job done I got back on the bike, bumped down a large curb to rejoin a wet road, gave it a handful (too much) of revs and spun out. Hell of a racket from the engine as the tyre parted company with the tarmac and me lying in the middle of the road with bemused onlookers grinning away. What a twat! So you're not on your own, believe me.
Don’t worry Saffy, I tried to ride off from Calne Bike Meet without removing my disc lock.
Luckily I was parked down a side street rather than the high street, so only two people saw me drop it.
We all do it….right? 😳
The only way to not drop a bike is not riding a bike. ❤
It is embarrassing when you drop your bike... but we all do it. I am surprised how people seem to come out of no-where to help pick up your bike. I have not had to pick up my bike by myself yet tbh! Very entertaining as usual!
Thank you so much! 😄 Dropping a bike is a rite of passage, and it’s awesome how people always show up to help! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🏍✨
Language dear girl 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂 whoops
Im sure all bikers have a dropped my bike in public story. I was filling my bike up at the petrol station, fully kitted from a rally. My girlfriend went to the toilet and I was at the bike, once filled I thought I'd be decent and move my bike out the way so that the people behind me could fill up and I decided to push my bike out of the way with the bike fully loaded and me holding my helmet on one arm and my girlfriends helmet on the other arm and then I lost my grip and dropped my bike in front of all the bikers and other motorists at the very busy petrol station.
"I think there's blood dripping down my leg" it must be time for some dinner 😅
😂😂😂😂
That drop was nothing. I once drove my bicycle over my own foot. And nearly broke my nose with a towel after a shower. 🤫
Oh wow, that’s impressive! 😄 Dropping a bike is nothing compared to that! Thanks for sharing the laughs-sometimes it’s the little mishaps that make the best stories! 🤫😂
S..a..f..f..y....??? It's happened again, hasn't it. (sigh )
😂😂😂 always me
We need to normalise dropping bikes - and encourage bike makers to design droppable bikes that take no damage from it. You see how many times Doodle drops hers? She rides humongous bikes - GSes, Harley baggers, all sorts - and when she started out dropping a bike was mentally a disaster, so embarrassing, but you get better at lifting them the more you drop them, and before you know it you're just fine with it, just a bump in the road.
Absolutely! We need more droppable bikes for sure. Doodle is such a champ with those massive bikes! Dropping a bike is just part of the learning curve, and it gets easier to handle each time. It’s all about building confidence! 🏍💪😊
@@SaffySprocket indeed, and I get that it can be hard especially in the months after an injury. I had the silliest injury going: a chap was emerging out from a parking spot, pointing the wrong way in traffic. I looked at him, he looked at me, we each thought the other was letting us go, he pinned my left leg to my bike & slowly pushed me over before his reflexes kicked in & he stopped the car. 2 months, I had blood squishing around in my foot and an infection in my leg, so I'm on my back on the sofa. You drop a bike & it all comes back.
Dropping one’s bike is part of the process. Those that say they never dropped their bike likely don’t have one!
Exactly! Dropping a bike is totally part of the journey. Anyone who says they haven’t probably hasn't ridden much! 😄🏍
I’ve never dropped my bike (yet).
@@gdfggggg you just jinxed yourself. You will forget the kickstand next time you get off the bike 🥳
If your about Galway give us a shout.
Hey, there's nothing wrong with You.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Aww Saffy, if those Paniers are more or less still intact, there could be a "If they're Saffy Proof, You know they'll last", sponsorship heading your way.
👍🍻💞🌞🫂🌈☕️🍪
Haha, love it! If my panniers can survive my adventures, they can survive anything! 😄 Fingers crossed for that sponsorship! Thanks for the support! 🏍️💖🌈

Njoy your amazing adventures Saffy.
Hi saffy, I hope you're leg 🦵 wasn't too bad, when you were eating your food I thought that looks good enough to eat 😋 then you're face was a picture with the crisps 😂, when you get another supplier you should have a t-shirt with - what is wrong with me printed on it 😂 . As a matter of interest are you still with the company as a paralegal? I want to thank you for taking the time the other day of replying to 4 previous videos I had left comments on, and the first time using my name, I thought it was my birthday 🎂 😊 It is much appreciated. Look after yourself Saffy, I hope you're keeping well, Best wishes Roy.
