With options for travelling abroad reducing and countries requiring quarantine on return increasing, I can feel the cabin fever creeping in so I'm going to experiment with working from different locations in the UK and combine with adventuring closer to home. First stop Lincolnshire...
I've only been to Lincoln once before, for work last December. I got off the train, walked (in the rain) to the client office to deliver some training, walked (in the rain) back to the station via McDonalds and went back to London. Not exactly making the most of the area, so it was great to go back and stay with my pal Katy who I met on my Action Learning Facilitator training in February...
After working at home on Monday I cycled up to Kings Cross just as Storm Francis hit London, so arrived at the station like a drowned rat. But once I'd settled into my seat (with bike in fancy hanging rack), it was only a 2 hour journey to Lincoln. And all for the grand total of £14 return. BARGAIN!
On Tuesday (Storm) Francis ramped up to 50 mph winds and heavy downpours but it was great to get out for a blustery dog walk after work before an evening of cooking up a different kind of storm with Katy and the kids.
After another morning of work on Wednesday I had the afternoon off, so with a break in the rain and the wind down to half the speeds of Tuesday I headed off for an 80km bike loop round the Wolds. Main traffic: tractors and swans (-:
After a quick transition off the bike, Katy and I headed off for a different kind of ride - my first time on a horse in about 8 years! Was surprised I even remembered how to pick out hooves and tack up. Turns out it's just like riding a bike horse...
One last run with (my fave shhh) dog Benji on Thursday morning and I headed back to London where (Storm) Francis was waiting to drench me for my bike ride home!
