  • My Dad being his usual self - I wonder where I get my silliness from! Was nice to take it slow and remind myself how I started cycling.

    Dad is quite the character the paper map with holes was amazing in a showing your age way LOL. He's a good bloke though, and it looks like he's good energy and inspiration for you Amy. Those bad thoughts only hold power if you give them power. All thoughts pass; you are the sky never changing behind any clouds/thoughts. They will always pass; all storms in life always come and go. Our minds are tricky buggers sometimes. Always looking for ways to cause chaos in some way if its fels it can. Its best trick is to pull you into the past that doesn't exist anymore or a totally unpredictable future which doesn't exit either. They are just thoughts nothing more. Love yourself and each and every moment of life as it comes. Our struggles sometimes are preparation for us to be more empathetic and helpful to others around us struggling in silence with no hope. So your honesty is helpful; don't be embarrassed to be your true authentic self ever.
    OH and 9K subs now; I see 10k subs coming very soon. TTFN sweet soul you make my day with these lovely videos. And remember all things are possible.

    I'm a paper map man. Just back from Sweden, first thing I did over there was to buy 2 maps, 50,000, series just like OS in the UK, to cover the area around Uppsala where I wanted to explore. Worked like a dream, no issues, was able to explore a network of minor and farm roads, without any reliance on electronics etc. Super area for the bike with a climate to match, temps in the 24/28C every day.
