I've been thinking a lot about my book Eat Sleep Cycle lately. It's the reason I met @timcyclesthecoast.bsky.social. It's about my 10-week odyssey around the coast of Britain, which Tim read, then did the journey himself. We became firm friends after that unique and life-changing shared experience.

A little video postcard from this morning's walk, up ancient trails to the beautiful village of Saignon ... The only downside was that the Boulangerie there is closed for holidays youtube.com/shorts/7SVsk...

Still seriously cold here at the moment, so we opted for a morning walk, rather than a cycle and it was really, very lovely.

A few months ago, I did a little workshop on making wire birds and recently gave one to a friend ... She sent me a photo of it on its little perch today, and it looks so lovely 😍 ... Needless to say I'm making a few more for Christmas

Glacial here at the moment ... Fifi's roof had to be closed on our drive out for coffee supplies, yesterday. Not that it makes much difference in a 2CV

Yesterday was still mild, today definitely isn't, but it was a glorious morning to wrap up in layers and potter out on the bikes

Rainy day today, so time to clear the cupboards. I have so many hobby graveyards spread around the house, that have gathered over the last 10 years 😳 Time to sort it all out and get it away in some order, before I get distracted!

Bumped into a friend at the market, this morning ... She has to shut the window on her 2CV to stop Elmo jumping out 😆

After the respectful, calm and measured checkouts, in Japanese supermarkets, I'm still struggling with the pressure and speed of the ones back in Europe ... Today has been a full re-stock the cupboards shop, at 3 supermarkets and I now need a sit down in a darkened room

And we're home ... It's been a wonderful & chaotic last couple of.months, cycling from Devon back to here, then pottering around Japan, but the cases are empty, the fire is lit, the wine is open and we're about to collapse in a heap

A few photos from a long day of walking a little bit of Tokyo. We wandered through some very pretty back streets on our way from Kitazawa to Shibuya and on to the Imperial Palace & Meiji Shrine. It's certainly an experience, but reinforced that we have spent the 6 weeks in the right place for us
