July 12th – Red light jumpers really annoy me, whatever type of roaduser they are. On the same morning commute, two classic examples, 15 minutes apart. The first turns left toward Lichfield at the Shire Oak Junction in a car. The second, a cyclist, drifts off the pavement and into lane at the Church Street junction in Lichfield, only to drift back again and cruise through the junction illegally. Both are idiots, and there’s no need for it.

June 4th – heading home up the A461 Lichfield Road, fully laden with shopping, the wind was behind me and there was a gorgeous mackerel sky. It is said that ’…makerel sky, twenty-four houurs dry’, but also that ’…mackerel sky, never long wet, never long dry’.
I stopped to photograph it near Lane’s Farm at the foot of Shire Oak Hill. It really was stunning.
May 1st – a punishing ride into Lichfield to check out the Lichfield Festival Market. A ride that normally takes 15 minutes, with some excellent downhill bits – took twice as long. The exttra wobble perceptible in this footage is caused by the wind.
