Blossom , don't blame me if you get obsessed with Vikings ! Hehehe
Morning losers !
What a stunning day down here in the south .. It's a beautiful spring morning .. I'm seriously thinking of dragging the bike out of the shed and see how I get on ( or off it )
Last time I rode it , my right knee would not do a complete circuit turn on the peddle and I was half peddling along ..
The Navigation Walk near me , runs from Winchester right through to Southampton water front . It's so beautiful , and runs along a river all the way .. Most of it has been made into proper path ways now , as it had a lot of damage due the flooding over the years , so most of it is perfect for a bike .. Hopefully this summer I will get to ride the whole length of the trail and drag hubby along with me !
There is another beautiful trail not far from me in Wickham. , that runs all the way through to Alton along a disused railway track . That's lovely and flat and easy on the rump ! Plus a few very very nice pubs along the way ..
But my favourite trail is just the other side of Romsey and runs though to Stockbridge , not a long trail , I think it's about 7 miles each way along an old rail line .. It is so beautiful in spring , it's covered in primroses and bluebells and lambs ! And you cross over old wooden bridges with crystal clear tinkling water underneath , running over rocks and weeds with trout gently swaying in the slow flowing currents .. Then at Stockbridge after the smooth ride there is a fabulous cafe for a cuppa where you can sit outside by a tiny running brook full of brown trout .. Idyllic ..
I'm determined this year to do these trails again .. Even if I have to put a cushion under me bum !
Got the day to myself today as hubby has to work
.. so I'm at a bit of a loss ..
Pftttt ! Guess who has the shed key then ! Yep .. His lordship has .. Oh well not today then .. Will go for a shuffle around the garden then ..
Later taters !
