Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Your first picture (the water feature) is very reminiscent of the paintings done by Monet at his property at Giverney. A beautiful series of paintings of water lilies. Well worth a"Google" if you don't know them.


Yes. I have seen them before.:okay:

Cycling. Having thought about this a lot, read the views here, listened to my club mates and consulted with my wife I've decided to continue riding.

I'm limiting this to local rides of 25-35 miles - two hours depending on the route. This I feel I can genuinely call exercise.

I won't be wearing club kit.
Yep. I feel an hour or two is reasonable.

I've been washing down the floor in the outhouse in preparation for giving it a coat of paint.
Gloriously warm in the back garden. Anyway, I digress, we live close to one of the flightpaths into Hurn ( Bournemouth) Airport.

In the space of half an hour I've seen a very big Virgin airplane, not a Jumbo but a long four engine job.

This was followed in short order by a British Airways flight.
Neither of those two carriers use Bournemouth so I'm guessing they are flying people back from overseas.

I am sure you are correct. My only reservation/concern is (as I have said) if you are on ypur own and have an off** or a problem.
This is just an opinion......I am not suggesting we break the rules.
Out of interest the guide is not to cycle in groups. I googled "what is a group". A group is defined as 2 or more :sad:.

Just wondering ...
Comparing different solitary activities - cycling around the lanes with decorating a living room. I wonder what the accident statistics show to be of higher risk?
