Sorry we’re not riding at dawn. We’re having coffee and catastrophizing the day at dawn. Then we’re doing Wordle. Then we’re doing 35 minutes of doomscrolling, then we’re taking the longest hottest shower, then we’re sitting on the edge of the bed staring at nothing for a while, THEN maybe we ride.

Fun fact, reindeer like eating lichen WAY more than they like glitter oats. Please don’t pick it from trees but there’s plenty on the ground after the storm! #lichen #forestofdean

Finally nearly home after 6 days travelling around ‘oop North’ learning about some awesome tree health work. I haven’t had a hug since Monday. Bets on whether the dog or the 5 year old is more excited to see me?
