Twin Trees

Twin Trees (again), Box Hill, Today

Hey there:) Feeling a bit better today after my recent spell of 'Bottom Bovver'! Although, i was pretty sure it was all over and done with last night, when this morning it was there again! I had just finished my 'Weetabix & banana' and out it came almost instantly! Surely it couldn't have been my breakfast! It had hardly had time to say hello to my Esophagus for goodness sakes!

Anyways, I took some advice from a previous posts comment (thanks Martinb), and went and bought some Imodium. I took a couple of capsules. It seems to have done the trick, although it is very windy here;)
I got back home wondering what to do on this very wet and windy Sunday afternoon. I really wanted to go out for a cycle. But wasn't really feeling up to it. I did feel a bit 'funny' all afternoon as it goes. Can't explain it really, just a bit weak feeling and miserable.
So i ended up going for a 'wike' (walk/hike) around Holmbury Hill & then on to Box Hill to see how my two favorite trees are doing. I saw a couple of mountain bikers all covered in mud and really wished i had my bike with me!
Eventually the weather got better & better as per Metcheck advice. After a quick photo shoot with the trees, I headed off back to Teddington, put the car away and got on my cycling gear and went for a 45 minute blast to Hampton Court via the River Thames towpath, back through Bushy Park among the rabbits and puddles, back to Kingston Bridge which i crossed and continued along the Thames to Teddington Lock, back over the Thames again, past the studios and back home. Jumped in the bath listening to Xfm on the radio, had a shower then got out feeling like shit! I always feel like this just as i stand up in the bath, probably water too hot! I do like a soak though:)
I am so glad i have my bike! My feet were killing me on my walk! Sometimes i can't beleive i have hiked up Ben Nevis twice! And I intend to climb her again next year! I was at the foot of her in June this year and really wanted to 'do it' then! But i was on a family holiday and i didn't think my Mum would want to carry my ruck sack;)

After all that, i think i can honestly say; I need a day off!
