So now it's time to get fit again. The weather is improving all the time - and the skirts are a bit tight around the waist. I didn't ride my bicycle as much as I should have done last year so I thought I'd start making an effort this week to get back in the swing. The first few days were torture - aching legs and some what saddle sore. But now it's not such a painful process.
Here's my trusty bicycle.
Looking at it propped up there, I feel it could do with some colourful decoration - I'll have to work on that.
Anyway, today for my ride I thought I would cycle along the promenade and maybe pop down to the beach to collect any interesting pebbles or shells.
As soon as I reached the front, I realised I wasn't going to get much beach-combing done - the tide was in!
It was an unusually high tide - all the iron men were virtually submerged. (There are pictures of the iron men, here, if you don't know what I'm talking about).
Can you see a tiny black dot in the water towards the top left - that's the head of an iron man. Here he is zoomed in.
The iron men make very useful perches for passing gulls.
Despite not being able to collect any pebbles, I had a lovely time at the front. A pleasant Spring day and fortunately I had come prepared and had my pen, notebook, novel and reading glasses with me.
So it was a relaxing hour spent getting fitter and enjoying the great outdoors.
I know what you mean about the chocolates - I need to get back to exercising soon x
ReplyDeleteI head never heard of the Iron Men until I read your above blog post. They look quite amazing, very mysterious in fact :)
