I'm so lucky now that they've tarmacced the cycle path all the way from my village to my work - it's a great surface to cycle on, and completely traffic-free (except for a short distance either end of my journey). The contrast with the A14, which is one of the most overcrowded and dangerous sections of dual carriageway in the country, is enormous. D is very jealous of me...

It's a beautiful day here today, cold but bright and sunny, and I'm really looking forward to getting on my bike and cycling home - it'll be sunset as I cycle through the nature reserve, so beautiful.

And of course having done a decent amount of exercise today I shall enjoy that large Friday night glass of wine with a clear conscience!
