OUT CYCLING ONCE MORE

As mentioned in my previous post I had a heart attack and contracted Covid-19 in hospital whilst being treated. Consequently June 2020 is practically a lost month to me and my poor wife who was infected by me on return home. So we only really surfaced again in July.

July was a month of careful rehabilitation - Covid, even mildly as ours, takes in out of you. But August has seen me out and about on the ebike once more, although some days were far too hot for cycling.


So a cheery photo of an exceptional encounter whilst cycling alongside one of the many dykes on Romney Marsh. Mum and Dad Swan leading a flight of eight cygnets whom they have successfully preserved from the predations of Marsh foxes.

Truly a"resurgam" moment both for them and my spirits!

That is indeed an exceptional encounter! It makes an award-winning photo I think.

Tom:
Thanks. It is such chance encounters whilst out cycling that add colour and happiness to life.

Good to hear that you are out and about again. I bet that in itself makes you feel much better. Nice picture too. All the best and keep turning those pedals.

Avus said...

Thanks, Dave. Yes turning the pedals (albeit electrically assisted) and being out in the fresh air is a good tonic.

I just love that photo! Keep taking care. Glad you're able to get out and about a bit now.

Kay:

It is an exceptional group, ain't it? I have since seen them again (but not in such a regular formation)

Thanks for your good wishes

How nice for you! I am hoping I won't be long before I can resume cycling. I am so cheered by your capture! Thank you.

Avus said...

Vita:
Good to hear from you. Cannot cycle at present? I hope you are not unwell?

It is good to hear you are a glass half full person Avus. That is a great photograph and long may they survive the fox.

Avus said...

Rachel:
Thanks for dropping by and welcome to the blog. Norfolk looks a bit "fresh" at present.

Oh, goodness, I missed this! What a bad time you've had - so sorry. But clearly you're made of tough stuff. Hope you get better every day.

Pam:
Ah! Long time no see. Thanks for the good wishes. I hope that you and yours are well
