I am determined not to let the awful weather win so I was away at 4am, soon after dawn. I biked through the forest to the small hill pictured below.  Over the tall gate and up the hill, scattering the deer who had been enjoying a peaceful breakfast.  I was back in my room by 6am feeling that it was one nil to me in the fight against the weather.  Although I have to admit to being very damp when I got back.
