It being the first day of a brand new year I decided to ride to the village of Whitwell, which has watercress beds, watercress being full of health giving properties. The River Mimram, which is pure water, flows through the watercress beds. Having got my purchase I cycled home on a very quiet morning. I suppose most people were getting over the New Year festivities. My only companions were a flock of black sheep who grazed contentedly in a nearby field oblivious to the damp conditions with their waterproof covering. Can you spot the odd one out? Home in time to see the annual New Year concert from Vienna with its elegant dancers. Wish I was as fit as they are! Have a good New Year. Miles covered: 16.
