Childish

Thursday, 23rd May 2013
Rain and rapeseed fields

I suppose it’s childish really, but I still find it somehow nicely odd to be at the edge of a shower cloud – where you see the join between wet and dry. Plenty of showers around today, and the dark clouds against the rape field yellow can look quite spectacular. I’m not sure I caught it that … (Read more)

Look Up

Lush scenery near Henley

Sometimes I can think I know almost all the roads around here, that there’s little new to notice. And then I look in a different direction or vary a regular route and something new will reveal itself.

Green trees and threatening skies

A short ‘rehab ride’ with Charli on the 12th, a ‘grab the chance while I can’ ride in very so-so weather on the 13th, yesterday was a wash-out and all of a sudden it’s midweek again. If all things are relative, given how much time seems to be speeding up, whatever it’s relative to must … (Read more)

In A Bad Mood

Blackbird Egg - broken into by a magpie

Lousy weather again – gales or very strong winds, a bit of rain, cold – and so the last few days have been short rides to just get out; rides in order to have ridden, to have done something physical, but nothing particularly pleasurable. With that as the background to the last few days, I … (Read more)
