Out to and around Wedmore 32

End of the first whole week back 'serious' cycling and well surprised how good it has gone.  Thought it would take longer to get back into the swing of things after 7 weeks off and also expected advice from the medics to take it easy.  Not at all.  The advice was, "Go for it. Back to normal." and that is just what has happened.  In fact, exceeded the planned weekly target in the first week.  That is nearly as good as the Villa winning 3-0 away from home yesterday.

Swans

The family were spotted on the Mark Road at Walrow.  Busily munching on the surfeit of algae on the surface of the water, they were completely oblivious to anything around them.  The purpose of stopping just there was to get a picture of a nearby heron but he/she cleared off as soon as I stopped.

Scarecrows

Unusually, took a route where there were no cafes or places to get a cup of tea without going further afield that was intended.  Stopped at the village stores in Brent Knoll but £1.90 for a coffee in a paper cup, out of a machine, seemed exorbitant to me; especially as there was only about 8 miles to go before home.  This scarecrow competition might be worth a visit next weekend.  Always something worth snapping when these are about.

Smugly pleased with 32 miles today taking the weekly total to 111 this week.
