 A morning stroll along the road and along a footpath. 

Kirby Hill

A vanishing deer, which had emerged close to me from a gap in the hedge!

Can you spot the deer?

Later a stroll through Whashton and back to the field of sunflowers.

By bike into Richmond from Whashton/ Ravensworth

Monday 20th September

 Beautiful morning…decided to take bikes for a pootle. ..to Richmond, for coffee and bit of shopping.

We cycled uphill 200 feet to almost 1000 ft, along a quiet road, then down 600 feet into the town. Past a lot of military firing range land, and down sharply for along way. 

Coffee at Pevseys(?) Co-op shop.

Back via Gilling West and Hartforth .

Sunflower field, lots of ups and downs too.

13.6 miles. We spent the rest of the afternoon sitting in the sun outside the cottage.
