An opportunity for a cycle ride! A brief lull in the rain came today. During last night I heard the rain hammering on the windows, which can be a cosy feeling sometimes. However, I knew that it also means a very soggy situation when cycling off-road.
With this in mind, I left for my ride early in the afternoon. It was chilly, but dry. Plenty of sunshine which made the scenery quite beautiful.
Buchan Park first with a brief stop for some pictures. Then onto Tilgate Park where I spotted a group of swans on the main lake.
There were four young swans, which were nearly fully grown, now growing their adult white plumage. A lovely sight! One adult was also present.
I expect the will soon disperse to other lakes and rivers before next spring season.
Winter is rapidly approaching. I am now wondering if we will get much snow this season. Here in southern England, nowadays we dont get much at all. As a child, I remember some very harsh winters, with abundant snow. How things change!
