Cycling to WOMAD

So, going to WOMAD festival and back, we did 150 miles through the English countryside, which was lovely. We travelled light this time, which was very pleasant. The drawback is that we had to buy everything we ate instead of cooking on a little gas burner, so it turned out to be quite an expensive weekend.

First stop to eat a well deserved cereal bar:

Off we went:

This field was striking blue with some kind of flower. No idea what it was, but very pretty:

We passed the four-shire-stone, which marks the corner where 4 different English counties meet: Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, Oxfordshire and Worcestershire.

This is where we stopped to eat the sandwiches we had prepared the previous evening. It was a very nice spot. On top of a hill in The Cotswolds so we had a beautiful view whilst enjoying our lunch.
This part of England is lovely with its small stone-house villages and cottage gardens.

We also passed a deer park:

And here is my sporty husband!

Oh, during that weekend, I passed the 5,000 miles milestone on my bicycle-mileometer. I have had it since January 2006. So, that's 2,000 miles a year, not bad, eh?

And finally...

not cycling related but this is quite a good photo. I started reading this book and stopped because I was a bit tired and had the sun in my eyes. Dave took a photo and finds it very funny because of the title of the book.
