I have decided to get on my bike so twice a week I cycle my little girl to nursery. It has been great. The other day I rode on from the nursery to visit a friend who is trying to start a small organic agricultural business. I've offered to help her as a volunteer for half a day a week and to my surprise she's reciprocated the offer - an extra pair of hands and a bit of motivation from another person will be great. During the ride I thought how lucky I was to cycle through such beautiful countryside with mountains, forests and farms. It wasn't too hot as autumn is here and the leaves are starting to change colour. Today this impression was topped by a wonderful sight of a field of people digging up potatoes following the harrow pulled by two docile cows. What a good feeling this sight gave me. I'm so grateful that I've taken the time out to saviour all this. Of course I had to peddle all the way back again with a fair few up-hill gradients on the way and I really must try and get a softer saddle! Unfortunately I had no camera on me to capture this work of art so instead I am including my neighbours sheep who are escape artists.

You always were keen on a bit of cycling, so long as it was mostly downhill. It just sounds so beautiful where you are.
