Amundsen would have kicked my butt!

The final nail in the coffin. Location of the second puncture on my Sunday ride. My Eddy Merckx bike is leaning against the signpost.
Where I spend an hour waiting for a lift. We had repaired the first puncture but something was obviously wrong with the rim as the second puncture happened with 2kms. Amundsen would have kicked my butt. I had serviced the bike but obviously didn't check out the rim well enough! If you don't have equipment that is well serviced and checked, you'll have problems!
Not a bad view! If I was going to be stuck somewhere, then this wasn't a shabby place!After a while I started bonding with nature. Bees collecting nectar from the plants.
Ladybugs having a meal.
The butterflies joining the party.
Pollen base, the butterfly has landed. Unlike the bees and the ladybugs, the butterflies are all splash and dash.
This bloke landed on the road in front of me. The wind kept blowing him over! Now would I have seen all of this if my tyre hadn't burst?
