Ride a White Swan

Mute swans in a field of kale at Whitekirk, East Lothian. I got out for a bike ride at the end of the day just as heavy clouds blew in over the Lammermuirs. This flock were quietly grazing and let me come quite close before taking flight.

Big Flight.

The day was spent pottering about - tidying and cleaning, gardening a bit and reading quite a lot. And then out! out! for some fresh air and exercise before dark. The bigger hills were markedly harder today than yesterday, the cold got to me more and I arrived home pretty weary. But that's OK because I know that now I've got back on the road bike I'll be stronger and trimmer week by week.
