Blossom , don't blame me if you get obsessed with Vikings ! Hehehe 
 Morning losers ! 
What a stunning day down here in the south .. It's a beautiful spring morning .. I'm seriously thinking of dragging the bike out of the shed and see how I get on ( or off it ) 
Last time I rode it , my right knee would not do a complete circuit turn on the peddle and I was half peddling along ..  
The Navigation Walk near me , runs from Winchester right through to Southampton water front . It's so beautiful , and runs along a river all the way .. Most of it has been made into proper path ways now , as it had a lot of damage due the flooding over the years , so most of it is perfect for a bike ..  Hopefully this summer I will get to ride the whole length of the trail and drag hubby along with me !  
There is another beautiful trail not far from me in Wickham. , that runs all the way through to Alton along a disused railway track .  That's lovely and flat and easy on the rump !  Plus a few very very nice pubs along the way .. 
But my favourite trail is just the other side of Romsey and runs though to Stockbridge , not a long trail , I think it's about 7 miles each way along an old rail line .. It is so beautiful in spring , it's covered in primroses and bluebells and lambs !  And you cross over old wooden bridges with crystal clear tinkling water underneath , running over rocks and weeds with trout gently swaying in the slow flowing currents .. Then at Stockbridge after the smooth ride there is a fabulous cafe for a cuppa where you can sit outside by a tiny running brook full of brown trout .. Idyllic .. 
I'm determined this year to do these trails again .. Even if I have to put a cushion under me bum ! 
Got the day to myself today as hubby has to work 

 ..  so I'm at a bit of a loss .. 
Pftttt !  Guess who has the shed key then !  Yep .. His lordship has .. Oh well not today then .. Will go for a shuffle around the garden then .. 
Later taters !
