I’ve been incredibly slack at updating this blog recently, if someone could please explain to be how March can possibly already be here I’d be most grateful..
Thankfully I haven’t been as slack about getting out of the city depths. Last weekend I went to visit my fairy godmother in Shefield and we went for a drizzly walk on the peaks which was still spectacular. Saw almost a whole field of snowdrops-really quite breathtaking.
I’m so happy that spring is finally round the corner, and that daylight saving time starts in 2 weeks! I recently bought a bike and have been testing out its off road skills, and treading tons of mud into my house to celebrate.
This saturday I headed out of town to some outlying villages and farmland. Followed a river for a while, and then sat and read under a hedge overlooking a valley. Got a tad frozen after a while, but when the sun was shining it was warm, and I even saw a hare! No boxing though I’m afraid.
In two weeks I’m off home for the Easter holidays and I’m determined to cart my bike home on the train so that I can get some fresh air when I’m back. For someone who doesn’t drive this bike has felt like a life saver! Finally I’m not tied to the subburbs. Does anyone have experience taking bikes on trains? I’ve already just booked a normal ticket but I’m starting to get nervous that I need to make special arrangments.
