Oh, and by the way, what is up with these seasons? When I got to the UK I had 2 weeks of unbroken, late spring, mostly warm; then I got to Toronto and it was sunny again (mostly) and warm too, but the trees seemed to have stepped back about a month in how leafy they were – late spring, they told me. Then, up in North Bay it was sunny to start with, then cold and wet, still no spring in the leaves. Now, in Thunder Bay, it is light at 10pm, like I’d expect it to be in Summer, the sun has been shining all day (like Summer – it is nearly June after all) but it never got over 7˚C and the trees are still barely out of Winter. I mean I wouldn't mind, except that its like driving about in a greenhouse and then I get out of the car and need to put on Winter clothing. I am confused!!
As I notched up my 40th birthday last year, I felt a strange and pressing need to prove I still had "it" - whatever "it" was. Maybe I'd never had "it" before, but I wanted to show I had "it" now. How better to do this, I thought, than a 1600 mile, Land's End to John O'Groats, solo cycle ride, on behalf of Barnardo's. This time its all for the Kids so, please, follow the charity link and give generously :-)
