Today’s title is from a story my Dad gave me which I think was his because I can’t find it anywhere. I often tell it, certainly did when I was a teacher . It is a god visual story or certainly is with my telling! I chose it for today because I am going to have a couple of grumbles now!\u00a0\u00a0Their both originate from my many cycling trips and today just reinforced it.<\/p>\n
Why is it that runners\/walkers instead of facing oncoming traffic so they are aware of what is coming walk\/run with their back to it? It means they are \u00a0unaware of what is behind them; so to me it is patently unsafe. If you face the traffic you can anticipate danger. My other grumble is people with headphones on not hearing when you sound your bell or call out and I am talking about roads without pavements! There!!!! I do sound like an old man!!!!! Which of course I am!<\/p>\n
Enough of that! I had a wonderful ride up in the high Cotswolds today and I should of taken a couple of pictures of the traditional Cotswold stone buildings up there! I even managed to find a cuppa and cake on the way! Cake is a vital component for long distance cycling!<\/p>\n
I have to say I don’t usually praise top flight footballers but isn’t Marcus Rashford an impressive young man with his letter to MPs about poverty.<\/p>\n
