A few crocuses showing colour in front
Fine weather continues + roads mostly excellent. Saw a town list of 10 cycling + went on via Rink to Peelburnfoot calling for Mrs Miller1, the Nest on my way back. Did not feel as fagged as on Saturday my dyspepsia having gone. Helen + Nancy2 walked to Half Crown Corner3. Helen stayed at Elmpark4 last night + ate 3 eggs for her breakfast!
