Sorry we’re not riding at dawn. We’re having coffee and catastrophizing the day at dawn. Then we’re doing Wordle. Then we’re doing 35 minutes of doomscrolling, then we’re taking the longest hottest shower, then we’re sitting on the edge of the bed staring at nothing for a while, THEN maybe we ride.

We are dancing at Stanton Drew stone circle at the winter solstice this year. We just hope we don't get turned into stone like the original dancers did.
21st December from 2pm.

And here we all thinking the Forest of Dean is funny about sheep.
A curious Shropshire superstition states that it is proper to blow a kiss when seeing a flock of sheep, to show them respect as well as to gain good luck.
