Thursday, 3rd April 2014:I am now seriously behind on my posting – so I could just skip some or I could post multiple posts with minimal writing or… The trouble is that in some ways this Blog is a bit like a diary for me. Does it matter whether it misses a few entries – no, except it seems a bit like cheating. Perhaps I will bang out a few word-lite posts and see how I feel. The good reason that I am getting a bit behind is that I am managing to get out and do 20+ miles on most days. In addition I have been able to do a few longer rides and go exploring. The trouble is that the Peddars Way ride turned into 8 Posts. Which sets me back even further.
So here is a quick post. After the long ride the day before I felt that I ought to make sure my legs got a bit of exercise, I didn’t want to risk cramp or anything. (Yes I know that it sounds like an excuse to go cycling – well it was.)
Were these the first dandelions (Taraxacum) of Spring (no).
White Fen Drove, Lodes Way
Crops a’popping up along Lodes Way
Drilling Seed – Blinkers Hill – Upware
Irrigation is needed already in the Fens
“Traffic” – Great Drove – Upware
Irrigation really is needed in the Fens
Wild plants popping up – Cow Parsley (Anthriscus sylvestris), Sticky Willy (aka Goose Grass – Galium Aparine), White Dead Nettle (Lamium album) and Red Dead Nettle (Lamium purpureim).
Wild-flowers are also pooping up in the Fens
I wasn’t the only one out for a ride – these two didn’t have to provide the motive power though.
