    My colleague tells me she sees a neighbour drive round the greensward to school, some 200m. The distance across the greensward is about 60m.

    I do read too often of parents unable to get their child into the local school and being forced to travel when that is the last thing they want.

    We do have the highest unpaid overtime in Europe so that has to come in to it (until we get the trade deal 😉 ).

    New Rule 63 !

    New Rule 63 !

    New Rule 63 Sharing space with pedestrians, horse riders and horse drawn vehicles. When riding in places where sharing with pedestrians, horse riders or horse drawn vehicles is permitted take care when passing pedestrians, especially children, older adults or disabled people. Let them know you are there when necessary e.g. by ringing your bell (it is recommended that a bell is fitted to your bike), or by calling out politely.

    Remember that pedestrians may be deaf, blind or partially sighted and that this may not be obvious.

    Do not pass pedestrians, horse riders or horse drawn vehicles closely or at high speed, particularly from behind. Remember that horses can be startled if passed without warning. Always be prepared to slow down and stop when necessary.

    I got a deskcycle due to the increase in sedentary time, although I have to be selective about when I use it – best used when reading or listening to a webinar.

    Electric, gas, water all up. Coffee up a lot as I have just bought beans.

    When I asked about whether we would get a wfh allowance for extra costs, I was told I was saving money by not coming into the office. This is despite an apparently green transport policy which susidises bus/train and encourages cycling. What was worse was the person who told me knows full well I cycle in all weathers, all year round !
