45km loop 🚴♀️

(I started this second travel map in October and will finish it off at the end of the week and begin travel map 3 😊)
Yesterday was a rainy and bleak day. Dog walking happens rain, hail or shine and little Indi prefers no rain or mud but that's just how it is 🙄, but Reggie is in his happy place in mud and water 😂 Raincoat on and out in it. Lovely in the woods and the creeks rushing with all the extra water.
Today no rain and so after a doggy walk this morning I went for a cycle to see two market towns nearby. I had cycled to Faringdon before and it is quaint, with a market trading hall and an old pub and lots of historic little shops and houses. I love the small business mindset in the UK.
Lots of local flooding in farmers fields and covering the road in many spots. Today I could see the Uffington white horse on the hill 😊
Wantage is also a quaint town with half timbered houses and thatched cottages, beautiful church and the weekly fruit and vege markets in full swing. I would have loved to buy some fresh vege but no panniers on my bike (and 25kms still left to ride) to carry it back.
I do love cycling the undulating rural roads past farms with crops and paddocks, horse paddocks, woods and views from the tops of hills. It was very windy today but a lot warmer at 11 degrees.
Relaxing couple of days 😊
