Bank holiday bliss

The weather forecast for today was the usual bank holiday wetness closing in. So woke early and was out on the road at 6am on a loop through Hartfield, Groombridge and around Tunbridge Wells. Was as traffic free as you are ever likely to get in Sussex - I did not see a car for the first fifteen minutes and even after that there was only the odd vehicle out and about.... Just like it usually is when going out from my Pyrenean base near Mirepoix. The hour and an a half without having breakfast first is probably about the limit though before the bonk sets in. Soon after my return the heavens opened and the rest of the day has been damp at best.
