Ahhh ... the unbounded joys of being retired, so's one can fully enjoy the early morning stimulating benefits of wind blown icy rain in order to collect a Fleabay 'collect only' item*.
Whilst only a 7ml round trip for me, the meet point was about a quarter of the seller's 235ml journey. Fortunately their pre-arranged route just happened to bring them within spitting distance of me.
Extra bonus was - belatedly - collecting an Xmas pressie from a local en route - a box of McVitie's Victoria selection biccies - which, together with a coffee - are certainly helping the re-acclimatisation process.
*A set of Bayko - which I'm sure others here will remember?
Yes, I remember Bayko. A sort of building toy. Metal rods into a Base, then, slot in bricks, windows etc.

Did some gardening this morning, put some broadbeans in and sowed some annual chrysanthemums. Quite warm and no need for a coat whilst working which leads me to my 'interesting' ride.... Ideal weather forecast, gentle breeze, sunny periods with chance of a occasional light shower hmmm right so of i go- to have one of the worst rides ive ever had!
