Beautiful but cold morning. Should have put on more socks and the big gloves. Kids were toasty as always. 🚴‍♂️❄️🥶

Spent a lovely afternoon in the sunshine fossil hunting down at Lee-on-the-Solent. Found 3 shark's teeth, a ray plate and lots of tower shells.

Kids even more excited about the delivery of the biggest box I've ever seen

In Oxford today for the launch of the Oxfordshire Local Nature Recovery Strategy.

Loving watching all the bikes go past whilst I grab a coffee 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️

Had a lovely few days away in Berlin, just me and the wife. Loved the history, the food and the friendliness of everyone we met. Knackered now and ready to head home.

3 free hours of electricity from @octopus.energy this afternoon. So have cooked lunch, showered the kids, done 2 loads of washing and put the dishwasher on for a load + a clean. EV is plugged in but not charging yet. Battery is filling up too ⚡🔋

Interesting panel discussion at the Hampshire and IoW Wildlife Trust's Wilder conference. Lots to be frustrated about, but lots of reasons to be optimistic about change too

Not working today so did a 50km ride around the Test Valley. Chilly at times but beautiful 🚴‍♂️😎

Had a great day out in Caerphilly to see the @tourofbritain.bsky.social. Thanks to the riders who gave my kids some bottles, they were so pleased

Best rock pooling ever. Found, and got stung by, an electric ray! Lots of fish and crustaceans too

Delighted to see that my Brittany holiday accommodation for the next week has a heat pump.

It's also got the biggest "rock in a garden" that I've ever seen. #pinkgranitecoast

Enjoying some silky smooth french tarmac in Brittany 🇫🇷

The electricity costs for the last 150 days: averaging a net income of £1.97 a day.

Not bad for a 5 bedroom house with solar panels, a battery, an electric car and an electric bike.

Actual income likely to be more than this as app doesn't account for smart charging periods ⚡🔋🌞

Nice couple of marine life murals in Walton on the Naze today. Found a fossil sharks tooth on the beach as well 🦈

In NE Essex for the long weekend visiting my mum. Went for a cycle around this morning.

It's so flat and there are so many communities/holiday parks right next to the seawall. Sea level rise going to be a major issue over the next few decades. I don't think building bigger walls will be enough.

4000 miles racked up on my @ternbicycles.com GSD in less than 3 years. Lots of little trips to school, work, football training swimming etc. 🎉⚡🚴‍♂️🔋

Spotted at Southampton Central

Lovely babbling sounds of the chalk river

Nice 60km loop around Stockbridge this morning. Went for a little paddle in the River Test at Houghton, was awesome 🚴‍♂️🌞

Pics from this afternoon's ride on the Isle of Wight. Think the IOW is one of the best places for road cycling in the UK. Amazing landscapes, lots of hills and the (quiet )roads are in such good condition - lots of very smooth tarmac
