That was cold. Been for a ride with a chum. A route on the bridleways around the perimeter of Silverstone circuit, and back via the woods. Great, well maintained trails all the way around.
Unbeknownst to me there's a bike shop within the grounds of the circuit and my buddy knows the owner, so we popped in for a brew. We then ended the ride at the pub in the village, with a tasty toastie and fries rinsed down with Guinness.
But by heck was it cold. Moderately high up and flat, so the wind was whistling in unhindered. Skull cap, goggles, buff up over my face, Merino, seal skins, one hundred and eleventh twelve layers and it was still blummen cold!

Tomorrow I finish setting up my micro brewery.
I'm currently exploring the delights of Spotify.
I've managed to make my entire former CD collection available.
This will be handy for in the caravan.
Talking of which, I've got to bring it out of storage tomorrow. Bit of work to do - 2 new tyres (old ones are 7 years old now), a small area of floor delamination to tackle and a recarpeting job. Should be good for a few more years then.

Well we have 2” of snow so it’s clearly foolhardy to risk going outside.
Cup of coffee and a quick read which I think will send me back to sleep.
When I get up the wood burner will be lit and I shall begin planning the June cycle tour of the Pyrennes.

Wood burner glowing, cup of Nespresso to hand, and its my Birthday. My last year of my Forties begins today.
Other than walking Lemmy I won't venture out today. Going to finish sorting the brewery this morning, and out to a dog friendly pub for a meal this evening.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Good morning. Wood burner on the go here as well. Bloomin cold. And we have had a smattering of snow. I am not going anywhere. In fact, i may not manage to change out of my pj's.
