AND...........finally, have started riding regularly again, not like some of you guys but today I managed 18 miles, so am well chuffed. :)

I had a day just for myself, that sounds bad but I think we all need that at times. Started by having some desperately needed highlights put into hair and trimmed........then out to play.

Nice day about 40˚f and the sun was out. :eek: Took a few pics, absolutely obligatory, nothing very exciting.

Now Clock is going off to bed, to dream about her lovely day.

Great job, Clock!!! Looks like it was a lovely day for riding!! Glad you're back at it regularly.
You're light years ahead of me as I haven't ridden 18 miles outside in months... but summer is on it's way. :D

Like most people, I live in a very ordinary street but by riding out a few miles, there are some nice places, ahem, nice for millionaires that is, I came across the following:

Where is the Fourth most expensive place to live on the Planet ? Barbados perhaps? Or Beverly Hills? Nope, they don't even come close. It's actually a tiny little sand dune on the Dorset coast called Sandbanks near Poole Dorset UK, some of the properties can go for £10million + and some people are actually calling it by the name of Britain's Monte Carlo!

Yet there is still a lot of unemployment in the area and people living on benefits, in fact I work for a hostel in the area for homeless teenagers, so that sums it all up.

That snow looks fantastic, I have never ever seen snow like that in real life. We get a couple of inches over here, occasionally and life comes to a standstill.

I am beginning to get so excited about our Team, we register everybody next week and we now have 23 in our Team, although I see a lot of motivation needed with some! ;)
