I have been sitting outside for my lunch as well. I thought the traffic was quieter today on my cycle.
I want to get down the bottom and see if I can find where the owl lives - but I can only do the 15 yards of grass as the path into the wood beyond isn't passable at the moment.
I've been running with a stick to open gates and help with balance over styles, works okay and does mean that I won't wipe my face with it (which I'd probably do subconsciously with a glove). Also have been enjoying outdoor lunches.
