Reflection

Cycling to work in the mornings along the canal is a good way to clear my head. There is so much to look at and take in: lots of birds with their, now adolescent young: swans, moorhens, ducks. An occasional heron or rat. Dogs of all shapes and sizes, with tails wagging, sniffing the breeze. Runners, cyclists, amblers. People stepping out of their barges into the morning. There's always something that makes me smile or laugh. It's easy to forget that it's often the simple things that mean the most.
