Sounds boring but I’m enjoying the change – long, straight, flat roads – love it – and it’s green. Lots more wee towns as well so more places to stop and have a breather. The only downside of more green is more flies and mosquitoes!
Did get a fright earlier – big dog bounding towards me from out of nowhere – thought he was going to eat me and then I had to hammer on the breaks as he stopped right in front of me – wee heart was going like the clappers – turned out he was just a very cuddly German Shepherd who’d come to say hello and have a cuddle. So I gave him a talking to – told him (or her) not to frighten cyclists and not to run into the road and that I didn’t want him to be road kill – not sure that he listened to me but he liked being clapped. So after that bit of excitement I set off and cuddly doggie headed back in direction, of what I presume is his house.
Camped in a wee town tonight called Colman – nice wee place and met Nick who is camping here during the week while he works – Nick invites me to dinner and have a fabby meal of barbecued hot dogs, yellow peppers and corn on the cob – cheers Nick, it was delicious.
As I type this a wee truck has wizzed in and out of the campsite and various other areas of the town – it’s pulling a wee trailer which is spraying something out of the back of it – I suspect it might be bug spray but not sure – now wondering what I may or may not have just inhaled??
