"ook?!": A better day

A better day

First ride out on the road for three months..looks like most of the crazy drivers were at home! We didn't go far, just about eight miles...hills ,even small ones, and a breeze was a shock to the system after all this time riding turbotrainers. But it was very pleasant out and the wind strength was thankfully lower than it has been.
The garden progresses gently..and we have a new source of pony poo!!

First flower trusses

Just waiting for me to turn my back!

Still there after the stormy winds

Hiding from the Cabbage Whites

A helping hand after the winds

And our first sale on eBay... incentive for himself to clean and describe more

Evi said...: All your veggies are coming along fabulously! I got a little nostalgic when I saw your lovely zucchini plant - I love the summer months and the glut of zuc's that come with it! So much surplus to eat and pickle ;o) love it!; 8 June 2020 at 11:06
Barbara Rogers said...: Great to hear of a bit of biking again. Garden is sure coming along! My adult son in Colorado has a mountain bike and likes to go on rides in the mountains and desert! What a difference!; 8 June 2020 at 12:39

We went on a cycling holiday, the idea was to cycle from one vineyard to the next. Neither of us had been on a bike for hundreds of years. We decided straight off that wine tasting and cycling weren’t a marriage made in heaven, so we never did. We enjoyed the fabulous food and wine after a hard days cycling though. The first day I thought I would die, the only proper equipment we had were cycle helmets. We did have a good time. Our fellow travellers all kitted up in lyra thought we were barmy, me with my palazzo pants and him in ordinary shorts. Out of the group strangely we were the only ones not to come a cropper... oddly?
