Catch a Falling Star….and…

Obviously my ‘nap’ the night before , helped me to get up early…and I watched the sun breaking over the distant hills

It was a nice sunny morning, and I breakfasted with delight..then got on the bike, and headed off into the forest, scratching my way through the Gorse bushes on the link trail, and then climbed up towards the distant tower… I stuck to the ‘new me’ and refusing to do the Black run, suddenly found myself hurtling down the trails, towards the valley floor, and by the time I realised it- I was almost back down to the bottom…and I wasn’t climbing it all again…so that was it, done ! 

I sat in the midday sun having snacks , and reading my book http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bradley-Wiggins-My-Time-Autobiography/dp/022409212X re-living the dream !

Then it was time to move on again, and having packed up I set off, firstly having a nice bowl of Curried Parsnip soup, and lemon drizzle cake in a handy cafe in Golspie, then drove across to Carbisdale Forest, hoping to do another ride today…unfortunately by the time I was there it was lashing down with rain, so could do no more than…continue to read my book, and watch the rain come down…it’s a tough life !

As it went dark later in the evening, the sky started to clear, and I later lay in bed looking through the side window at the stars falling from the sky (meteors)..brilliant, I spent hours with the binoculars on my nose, watching the spectral display…superb

So, on a late night starry night…Goodnight !
