Ridiculous to the sublime

Ride 13 of 100

After last nights blizzard I awoke with eager anticipation of crisp virgin snow trails, I was not dissapointed, hardly any people tracks, a few fox tracks and the clearest sky ever, deep royal blue, complete with shooting stars and planets.

An hour in and my light disturbed a starling roost, must have been a few thousand of them, enough to make me stop and stare, on and under the canal, passing by a red mondeo with the engine running and all steamed up, I instantly had a flash back to the hanging man but was pleased to see it was a couple of (very) early morning doggers !.

By now the sky was lightening up and work and a hot shower beckoned, coffee and porridge, ready for another day at the office.
