… of the decade. Yesterday I journeyed 94 miles on the F850 GS, riding into the sullen Scottish Borders – drizzle and heavy mist over the hills, having left the Tyne Valley in bright sunshine. This morning brought a heavy frost and removed any temptation of venturing out again. Ice and two wheels don’t mix.
… last sunrise.
… and a heavy frost.
… just north of Kielder
Riding the bike into distant empty roads focuses the mind, clears the head and banishes dark thoughts about the year gone by – it has not been a good one. A new decade begins, turn, turn, turn …
My big sister: 1944-2019

It’s a wonderful part of the world.
Beautiful images of endings and the gentle dawn of new beginnings. The wheel does indeed turn. Last year was a tough one, for many people, in many different ways. I was so relieved to see the end of 2019. Wishing you so much peace and joy in the coming year and decade, dear Robin.
Many thanks for your good wishes, Julie. 2019 was a dreadful year for us but everything passes even though the scars remain. The year has turned, the light is returning, may it bring us both good things.
Sorry for your loss. I hope 2020 will bring consolations and happy surprises
