  1. Just got back from a quite lovely afternoon jaunt on the
    bike. Vernon & headed out into some beautiful Norfolk
    sunshine and had a pootle around the lanes. We went from
    home to Beeston, Fransham, Dunham, Litcham, Mileham,
    Stanfield, Longham & back to home. It was *wonderful*. Lambs
    in the fields, primroses in bloom, a barn owl joined us for
    a short section of the ride. Oh that all cycling days could
    be as today!

    Cheers, helen s

    Lucky you. I've been confined to the MDG all day ferrying
    small people around and buying a new MDG into the bargain.
    Loads of cyclists out enjoying the sun, and me stuck in a
    tin box! Bummer.

    I'm a big fan of Owls - I have an Owl box in a tree in my
    garden (sadly, not yet inhabited by owls - LOL) - is it
    me just noticing them, or are there more around nowadays?
    I don't seem to go out (car or bike) without seeing at
    least one...

    It certainly was a lovely day today - glad to lose that
    infernal wind - let alone the hail! Today was my first
    time out on the bike for a few days (been avoiding the
    weather, and under guidance from the doc to avoid cycling
    as I have had a rather high blood pressure reading -
    obviously rather odd guidance because after todays ride my
    BP was really low for me - 130/70) - just did a short
    jaunt to Tesco at Dereham.

    Hoping to get some Km's in over the weekend, but I'm under
    orders from "The Boss" to "Get on with that bl00dy
    kitchen"...

    Well I do spot barn owls quite frequently during the day.
    Little owls too. Favourite little owl perches seem to be the
    tops of telegraph poles :-)

    Tesco or Morrisons will be a jaunt for me tomorrow -
    possibly after cycling over to East Lexham in the morning to
    meet up with Nathan who cycled over to a friend's house
    today, where a few of them are staying over.

    Obviously she's referring to *my* kitchen which is still in
    a state of unfinishedness, even though the stuff was ordered
    before Christmas but the damn company can't get the order
    correct or deliver on time.

    Splendid!

    I went out for a 30-mile spin this morning, but as it was so
    lovely I decided to take a bit of a detour from my planned
    route, headed off down some unknown country lanes and got
    myself completely lost - which was wonderful! 30 miles
    turned into 45 miles by the time I got back home - at one
    point I found myself up on top of the downs with gorgeous
    views for miles and miles and miles... lots of lambs
    gambolling in the fields too.

    I cleaned the tourer after it got wet last weekend, in
    readiness for le weekend. I am taking the train to Carlisle
    on the Settle-Carlisle line and cycling home in two,
    roughly equal 100km stages. [Gone metric to test myself for
    Audax schedules]. I prepared my vegetable plot ready for
    planting on Tuesday. I declined a job in a thermal
    underwear factory too.

    Yeah, I worked this morning and have a major off-road
    jaunt planned for tomorrow so this PM we went for a family
    walk which was very nice. The downside was that the route
    to the walking spot is also one of my favourite road
    riding routes and I felt really confined viewing the
    scenery from inside the car plus not being able to see so
    much of it anyway as more attention is required for
    operating the MDG. I suppose I should have sat on the roof
    and let SWMBO operate the machinery
    :-)

    It does make me realise though just how much people who
    don't cycle are missing.

  8. I had a lovely morning cycling from Leeds to Pateley Bridge. Weather took a
    bit of a turn nearing the end but was perfect for the most part. Some killer
    hills that I had failed to remember from driving there but was well
    re-fuelled when I met up with the family for a Steak and Black Sheep pudding
    nosh up at journeys end 🙂
