Dear pubs, thanks for reopening because this zone was finally completely empty. Not even any dog walkers! 🙌🙌💕 Blimin love that it's totally normal now (a year in) for parcels in the post, deliveries at the door to be magnificent food feasts!! When it's too late for coffee... 🍷 3200m - three years since my highest, best coffee, 🤔 best, highest coffee?! Grateful to the humans & mules that actually got the huge (seriously) coffee machine up here (no roads & the heli pad was still a day's steep hike away).👏👏👏 Could not believe it; I'd lived on ginger tea, but suddenly I could have proper COFFEE. 🙌🙌🙌 Chef Kim prepared, cooked and styled this week's 5 star Friday night feast! I reckon you would pay quite a bit to devour this two course (plus wine!) spread. 👏👏👏 Hey dad. A long, boggy, hilly, funny, sunny... Good Friday walk for you. 💕 Live capture of a toddlers response to, can you smile for a photo?📸 Absolute poser. Such a cute sheep, came over for chat while I had a coffee. Great company. Tiles, tan, take me back. 📸 Invited @ottolenghi round for last Friday's restaurant-at-home meal, and it was just glorious!!🍴🥄🔪🍽️ Chased a sunset and followed a robin (hi dad💕). Genuine joy from this cycling hobby. A small win to end another busy, screen filled day. Into the woods and through the trees. A later cycle tonight, into the darkness to find the stars. ✨ Cycling downhill, off road on bumpy tracks when you can barely see a metre in front is pretty thrilling. 🚲 Lockdown extreme sport. 😂☑️ Solo, sunset cycle. 🌄 Zero degrees, but glorious, a great way to end Monday. Action! 📸 ➡️ Tagging windmills... when it was freezing, double snoods were required and I was a tad hungover.🤢 Such a long, steep climb 😴 & they're more spread out than you'd think! The camellia is back!! 🌺🌺🌺 This is my favourite plant in mum and dad's garden. 💕It absolutely towers over the lawn & last year provided months of colour & joy during the neverending garden lockdown of last spring (& I'm sure into the summer too, I'll check my photos). It finally happened, light enough and sunny enough to go for a quick sunset cycle straight after work. 🙌🙌🙌That's a home working bonus right there, no commute to delay fun!! Sunday cycle🚲 with my mini nephew meant more time spent throwing rocks in the river than actually cycling. 😂 A mid week day off means a wander through the woods & along the river, with a few rounds of toddler style hide & seek thrown in. 🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏼‍♀️ After scanning old film photos from a teenage family trip to the Grand Canyon, I was reminded of a trip to another canyon, this time funded by me, as a backpacking trip in my mid 20s (2011).⛰️ ❤️ G R A T E F U L❤️ for childcare bubbles and nephew hugs. (Obviously ignoring United's dismal display, but just love that Elis looks at the TV & asks what's Bruno or Marcus doing? 🤣🥰) Saturday night cycle, looking towards the twinkly lights of Manchestaaaaa.✨✨✨ One of my favourite places to visit in KL; ⛩️ many minutes spent roaming around, above and below hundreds of lanterns, in all the different sections, turrets and side gardens, past the ponds, the underground wedding zone, the zodiac garden and my favourite bit the fortune sticks (not their official name!). Always funny to take visitors for their fortune.📸➡️ Really miss taking myself off for a solo, aimless but wonderfully pleasant (minus all the sweat) wander around this city. Cannot waaaait until I can finally do this in Manchester. 🎊Happy Chinese New Year🎊 to all who celebrate. Sunrise this morning😍, briefly braved it in my dressing gown & slippers because it just looked too pretty to miss, -1oC brrr. A very rainy Saturday🌧️ spent scanning photos from teenage holidays I was so lucky to go on.♥️ Oh what a cool piece of ice this is, let me just take a quick photo...arghh toddler incoming!!😮🥶➡️📷
