Hi all

We did the housework this morning and I decided to go for a bike ride as the rain we'd had had cleared by early morning. It was cloudy this morning but wasn't cold and there were sunny periods. The brown foal was having a very good scratch on the branch of the tree.

I cycled out to Yelverton again today, on the edge of Dartmoor and cycled 34.815, a shade under 35 miles. It was such a lovely ride. When I got back home I made my sourdough dough and it's now proving in the warmth of the conservatory.

I hope you've all had a lovely day and the weather has been kind to you all.

Have a lovely evening.

Alicia :)

Hi Alicia,

Wow, those photos are great. Such beautiful horses, and your cycle ride sounds really good. I bet your sourdough will be scrumptious.

Zest :-) xx

Hi Zest

Thank you. I think most people know by now that I absolutely love horses and have to take photos of them when I see them, they were so cute. Thank you and I'll be checking the dough shortly.

Alicia :) xx

Hi Lynne

It was such a cute foal scratching, I couldn't resist a photo.

Thank you, it was a little harder onthe way out today as there was a head wind but so enjoyable.

Well, I've done a little gardening, enjoyed the first lunch made by my daughter since before lockdown. Now I'm just catching up on friends on the forum and find you have had a lovely ride through the fantastic Devon countryside today. Yes, when I look at the photos put on by members it does make me so appreciative of where we live. Yet another week ends and another due to start. Let's hope its a good one Alicia. Enjoy your freshly baked bread.

Cheers. Xxx

Gardening is good as it gets you outside. How lovely for your daughter making lunch. This forum is really good and yes I had a lovely ride thank you.

The UK has such beautiful countryside and I think sometimes we can take it for granted, I've definitely done that.

Here's to a lovely new week and the dough is now in the loaf pans rising then to bake tomorrow.

Have a lovely week.

Beautiful scenery, you would never get me home, I would stop at every pony and spend some time with each. Glad you enjoyed your ride. I had my grandson for the afternoon, he is very active to say the least, much more than my granddaughter. I really enjoyed the afternoon but I don't mind admitting, I was tired by the time his dad pick him up early evening. 😁😊🌸

in reply to bobbybobb

Oh it is difficult leaving them there, I'd love to have one, or more, as a pet(s), such beautiful creatures.

I'm glad you had a good afternoon with your grandson and I agree boys are far more active, not surprised you were shattered. My daughter's lovely friend has a girl and a boy and I have a soft spot for her son, he's 6 now but full of life and he has a lovely temperament, a real cheeky little boy. Her daughter is my granddaughter's best friend, it's so lovely to see them.🐎🚴‍♀️🌈🙏😊🌻

One day I need to come over there and go for a ride with you. I love the photos and countryside.

Had a few good rides myself in the Sierra Foothills the past few days.

One 35 miler and another shorter. I like the short one cause along the route I have lots of dog friends that come out to bark and say hello. It’s a good day when they are all there.

Been warm here also so it was just shorts and short sleeves.

Lots of thunderstorms in the high country with half inch hail. We are hiking up there in a few days.

Have fun.

in reply to daveh121

Thank you Dave, we are so fortunate with the countryside we have, nothing better than a walk or ride in the country.

Your rides sound really lovely and I bet you also have some stunning scenery.

You've had a lovely couple of rides NY the sounds of it. I love meeting people whilst out, everyone seems so happy when at leisure.

It's beautiful here today and definitely shorts and t shirts weather, my kind of weather.

They sound like some pretty awesome thunderstorms, I really enjoy a good storm. Enjoy your hiking, anything thing I love to do.

Have a good day.

Thank you so very much for these interesting photographs, everything looks so calm and peaceful. You would not know that virtually whole world was in lockdown.

A beautiful escape!!

in reply to footgo

Thank you and I'd never even thought about that. It's certainly a good eay to escape from everything.

Take care and enjoy your time away from the lockdown scenario.

I have not seen anyone else enjoying your beautiful area of England in your photographs. How do you keep everyone out, good security Alicia.

Best wishes Tim

in reply to footgo

Thank you and I I certainly will.

There were plenty of other people but it's quite a large area so I was able to keep them out of the photos, I also like to keep them out on purpose so I can see the countryside.

All the best Tim

That is impressive well done you must be if you don't mind me asking how long have you been diagnosed

in reply to jeffmayer

Thank you Jeff. I've had IBS since 1996 but since following the low fodmap diet I've got my zest back for life. Living life to the fullest.😊🙏🐎🚴‍♀️

Another lovely collection of photos Alicia!👍🙏

Thank you Sue, it was a lovely ride. 🙏🐎🚴‍♀️😊🌱

I wish that I lived in your part of the country, as I have visited Dartmoor on a couple of occasions. All that I have to look out onto is a car park, and a few houses opposite. I live in a small flat which I really hate, and most of my neighbours keep themselves to themselves. Lockdown for me is like imprisonment, and all that is missing are the bars at my windows. I really live in fear of another lockdown, and would gladly take my chances with the virus, as to locking myself away.

in reply to

I'm so sorry you feel line you do which I fully understand as I'd feel exactly the same.

I,like you, would rather get out than gave another lockdown, there are so many way you can protect yourself and also people will have to wear masks to the shops as of Friday so it'll make it safer all round. As to another lockdown, I don't think so, the country couldn't survive financially.

Take care🌈🙏🐎🚴‍♀️

Thank you Jerry, it felt good to get the housework done and it was nice a cool for the ride. I baked the bread this morning before going to the dentist,my appointment wasat 09:00 so I was pleased to bake it beforehand, it's now in the freezer in slices.

They certainly do and the Moors does tend to have it's own weather system.

You have a lovely afternoon Jerry and enjoy fending off the boars.😉🐎🚴‍♀️🌈🐗

I would love to stroke those horses. The goal is gorgeous. Thanks again for sharing x

in reply to Sheila_G

Hi Sheila

Thank you, the horses were lovely but too busy eating to come and say hello. The foal was too busy scratching.

I'm glad you like them.
