I was a little stiff this morning after yesterday's walk around the theme park at Chessington. This is something that I have to get used to now that I have reached retirement. 🙄 So today, I took things

With the continuing super spring weather, we couldn't resist visiting the Chessington World of Adventures theme park. We had a great day! But there was some bad luck, too. My main picture shows the water

On this warmest day so far this year, I walked into the town centre to browse some shops and take in the atmosphere there for a while. Temperatures reached into the low twenties, which felt quite warm

I had three hours to get in a long ride. In fact, I had to cut it short and take a detour to get back home in time! 😅 This was the second longest ride of the year at 26 miles, even with the shortcut!

I realised it would be cooler conditions back home after a short break away, but today felt very chilly, especially first thing this morning at only 9 degrees. I looked at the weather forecast for the

After another nice day on Monday, it was time to travel home. It's always a sad time but it is also good to get home again too. We will be back sooner than you think 😁. We love this island. Fuerteventura

Yesterday, we went for a walk along a beautiful sandy part of the coast near Corralejo. A large area of dunes stretching inland. All of the sand here has been blown by strong winds across the sea from

I have been to Fuerteventura many times over the past 20 years. One thing that I have wanted to do for a long time is to ride a mountain bike here. Today, I hired a bike and did exactly that! As this was

The weather in Corralejo today was very good. Sunny, clear skies, and about 22°C. For our first whole day, we decided to take a walk along the coast path from our hotel to the harbour, which included the

The view from our front door for the next few days. 😁 All of my activity today was done travelling for a short vacation in the Canary Islands. Fuerteventura, to be precise. It is surprising how tiring

On another wall to wall sunny spring day, we decided to take a nice walk in two adjoining parks where there are always nesting wild birds. Starting off in whats known as Bewbush Water Gardens. I spotted

New day, new challenges! They may be very familiar challenges, but we face the same routine day after day. Luckily for me that is not so much of a problem now since I retired, but there are still many

Today was quite a busy day as it happens. Nothing special or out of the ordinary, just the everyday routines such as shopping and school runs, collecting our grandson. It is all the more pleasurable when

So, after a look at the weather forecast and a good breakfast, I set out on what would become the longest ride of the year so far! A roughly circular ride of almost 30 miles, circumnavigating Horsham.

The magnificent Mute Swan. A very common sight on nearly every lake here in England. There are other subspecies of swans, but around my local area, the Mute Swan seems to dominate. I took a walk around

It has been another lovely sunny day. So we decided to go and visit a nice wildlife centre. The British Wildlife Centre here in the south of England. On a side note: There was a partial solar eclipse today,

The beautiful spring weather continues, albeit a little chillier than of late, but the sunshine is lovely. I think a change is due starting tomorrow with rain signalling a slight cloudier outlook. This

I spent most of my time doing odd jobs at home. Those things that get added to the imaginary list in your head that never get done 😅. It is good to clear your head sometimes. There was still time for

My plan for todays cycle ride was a circular route taking in St Leonards Forest. It felt a little chilly, so I quickly returned home for my windproof jacket. 😆. The first part of the ride took me along

My day was much more active than yesterday due to having two trips out shopping. Shopping does involve a lot of walking in most cases, especially if the store is a very large supermarket like most these
