Only Ruby came along today meaning we could walk further and faster although it was a day for dawdling.

Alnwick garden's cherry orchard is in full bloom just now but I had my own free blossom lining my path.

Ah, the joys of waking up in time for sunrise! A quick check out the window and off I go.

Glad I thought to make a flask of coffee and a jammy piece.

 

walking and cycling

Nature reclaiming the rusty stump of an old lamp-post. Life is a powerful force.

Cycling isn’t about pedalling, pedalling, pedalling. 

Especially on a breezy day like this, that’s the worst part. Cycling is about finding yourself somewhere beautiful and peaceful a few miles from home. It’s about relaxing for a while. Maybe it’s about cake and chatting if that’s your thing. 

Then, sure, there’s a bit more pedalling but not relentlessly. It’s not a race.

A day off from walking the dog meant I could wander my own paths.
