The greyness is slowly being replaced by pale clouds

It didn't help that I was coming in from the south via Wattisham so had the open countryside and no real shelter Mind you I get the same if coming in from the other direction using the back road from Needham Market, so tend to wait until there's an easterly or south easterly wind before heading your way.

I notice the wind more now than I ever did, perhaps it is an age thing (67) ? If there ever is a tail wind, it is in short supply. I lived a year in Shotley and when I cycled to work in Ipswich it was into the wind, usually W or SW. By the time I`d finished work and ready for the cycle home, more often than not that wind had swung round to the East. It did`nt seem so bad doing the same journey from Stowmarket with the exception of the last bit from Creeting.
