A short cycle blog tonight. Our Peter is away with “Cedric” our camper van for the next 10 days. To start his adventure I accompanied over to the Black Mountains (really big hills) and we tackled the Tumble this afternoon. It was certainly a long climb much bigger than any Cotswold Hill. Marvellous ride after the top and hardly saw a car as we rode over the hillside and through fresh wooded glades. The weather was great, you feel so much better when the sun shines! The scenery was stunning in the sun.

A lovely bird watch at Wick Court with young people from Putney. They were intrigued watching swallows casing out a possible nest site in the boot room and a busy Willow Warbler building a nest. Now planning my stories for tomorrow afternoon.
