15/02/2025: Seaton → Lyme Regis → (over Trinity Hill) Axminster 🌧️🌊
Screenshot of notes app, with text that reads: Busy brain recently 🐝 and this was pretty much the perfect (last-minute) antidote. The coast path from Seaton to Lyme Regis was narrow and rolling, with twisted roots and cascades of steps: climb up, fall down, climb up, fall down... the closest thing I've felt to the rolling rhythm of single track without a bike. I didn't really think about anything the whole run: just listened to the birds and the pattern of my footsteps on top of the background swirl of rain and wind and waves. Dropping down the hill and emerging out of the woods to the view from the undercliffs was so beautiful it made me gasp out loud. I ate pockets of (slightly sticky-melted) snacks, slipped over in the mud a few times, and ran as slow as I could to still make the replacement bus service back home again. It was all just really, really lovely.

First two sewing machine projects done!!!!

First the dress (this was tbh very complicated to start with 😅 but I learnt a lot!!) and tonight some self-drafted pyjama shorts (matching top coming soon 😎)

Given a month ago I didn't even know how to thread a bobbin, I'm actually stoked

... and here's day 2, from Tavistock down to Plymouth (and then the train home again). Not so sunny, but very atmospheric woods in the mist!

Photo #1 is me at the finish, thanks to a kind stranger. 🙂

It was my first ever multi-day run, and I enjoyed it absolutely loads.
