Ventured across the border today to work in Devizes- what a place to get to from Frome. The sun was shining and it was so warm that I stripped off to my shirt for the first time this year. I could hear the birds singing in the trees and I saw my first Bumblebee of the year. The tiny winged creature’s buzzing was so infectious, I got a buzz myself. All signs that the time of year the biking community yearns for, is nearly upon us. A week this Sunday the clocks go forward as we move in to British-Summer-Time. Long warm sunny days riding our bikes – Yippeeeeeeeeee! :) :) :) :) :) :)
It was lovely on Monday - sunny, but with a coolness to the air that means you don't overheat, birds singing, bees buzzing, blue skies and greenery....
....just a pity I was feeling awful with a cold and wasn't in a mood to enjoy it ;D Although I did feel better for being out in it

23* in the conservatory the other day once the sun got onto it! Normally it's about 14 at this time of year :)
On the down side, that means accident season is almost upon us :(
Been doing my domestic godess routine today.
Washing windows, cleaning guttering etc. I cant remember a time when the sun felt so good on my face.
Yup, spring is here 8-)
Managed to get out today for the first time since August (could even be July) last year. Yep...it's been that long.
Zig zagged my way back and forth across the Plain ending up at the H&C to be greeted by Kev and Tina
All good though. Just had the one old dear pull out on me today. Close to 200 miles which is more than I was planning to do.
Surprisingly I feel ok, no aches apart from my gammy wrist which is in clip order and now has an ice pack on it. Tina... :-X ;D
A good day all round though. [smiley=thumbup.gif]

Was a beautiful days riding, we went to Burrington Coombe. I only had a police car which was lacking indicators and also a woman pull out in front of me and then just blocked my lane, managed to squeeze round the back of her car tho :)

Just got home from Carlisle on the bike. Went up yesterday 310 miles and 310 miles back today. The worst part of the journey was on the outward trip until I got about 50 miles north of Bristol. Hands were freezing, but today was lovely - took me 5 hours from door to door. 8-)
