I love poppies. After sunflowers they’re my favourite bloom. Everywhere we rode today there were fields full of poppies. So beautiful and something that you rarely saw when I was a child due to the pesticides used back then by farmers and because fields never seemed to be left fallow for a year. These were taken from NCN54 looking towards Lichfield and the cathedral.
Riding is getting easier for me now. After the way I felt in the winter I am enjoying getting fitter again and enjoying being with Aiden on longer rides. Today was nearly 40 miles. I feel good!
