Morning all.
Same here at 06.00 as it as for @Mo1959 and @welsh dragon.....the roof was covered in frost
I plan a 15 miler later on then, as @The Central Scrutinizer I will be watching the premier league unfold..... hoping against hope that Brighton can do the reds a favour

I'm late on this thread, very late. Story of my life.
I'm pre-retired. I'd say early retired but in truth I just got fed up with working and down sized 10 years ago (to rural France) I'm living on savings until my pension kicks in 10 years time. It's 'interesting' watching the funds dwindle, hoping I've got the bases covered and no crisis befalls me. I'm relatively financially secure and I know there are people in more precarious situations than me. Comparatively, I'm comfortable.
When I initialled arrived here, I used to cycle a great deal. Voyages of discovery around the region. It was brilliant. I hardly ride at all now. The bikes are all there and ready to go, just awaiting my (metaphorical) change of heart. I will get back to it, I feel it in my bones.
These days I mainly walk and potter in the garden. The odd bit of DIY (but it's not my thing in truth) The countryside around me is beautiful; not your classic French tourist locations but a mix of decades (centuries?) old copses and rolling pasture. Autumn light is stunning, my favourite time of year and my favourite time to ride.
