Took myself off for a walk up the Malverns as my road bike is being serviced and I do not like riding my hybrid by myself as I have to have cleats and might fall off.

Surprise in the Post

 

Together with a birthday card I also received this lovely little handmade postcard. I am so lucky in that I have some lovely friends.

Belated Happy New Year

We might not have had the amount of snow that some have experienced over recent days but we have had some nice frosty mornings. I have been sad not to get out cycling for quite some time because of the cold but have made up for it by walking regularly.

It has been a bit icy on the Malverns but there was a plentiful supply of water babbling its way down towards Great Malvern.

Unfortunately, like lots of other people I have spoken to, I seem to have lost my creative mojo for the moment and I am finding it very difficult to focus on drawing and stitching, pastimes which I would normally love doing.  However I have been making an effort to read fiction and we are fortunate in that our library is still open for the collection of ordered books and return of those we have read. It is a round 4 mile walk from home for me so an excellent excuse to get out and about.
