Yet again no weight-loss but I've had a ball.
Kurt and I cycled along the Bath canal and enjoyed a sumptuous pub lunch at Avoncliffe with a pint of cider before heading back. 25 miles round trip. Relatively easy because it was all on the flat - but incredibly satisfying.
Then last Friday Peggy and I took Cycle Network Route 24 from Radstock to Frome along the old railway line. This time it wasn't flat all the way - near Frome it was incredibly hilly - and we deserved the coffee when we arrived. We were exhausted, yet knew we had the same to contend with on the way back. But what a fantastic day out. The most wonderful type of tiredness.
Along the route were countless apple trees. Apparently they grew where train passengers had thrown out their apple and pear cores en-route. A multitude of apple and pear varieties that are no longer widely available.
Mr Beeching who recommended closing down the railway network has SO much to answer for. it was nothing short of a crime.
As of now I am now 'cereal free' - not just wheat but everything else - let's see if that can kick-start my weight-loss again.
