Down to Burnham for a cuppa 26

Another nice day out there, slightly overcast, but warm.  Heading down to Burnham on Sea and going for a decent distance today, as the back seems to be nicely on the mend.


Drought

Haven't been down this way for over a month now and was surprised how dry everywhere looked, in fact, these cattle on Pill Road, near Mark looked hard pressed to find some decent grazing.  it should be nice and lush this time of year, not dry and scratty, not much goodness in that pasture. Farmers are already using up their winter feed to supplement this poor razing.


Bay View Cafe.

Not so much a problem with us humans.  Head for the nearest cafe.  In this case today it was the BayView cafe on the sea front at Burnham on Sea 8 Miles down the coast from Weston as the crow flies.  This was taken at Midday so it was fairly busy.  Too busy for me to wait for a toasted tea cake to be done so just had a cup of tea instead and watched the world go by for 20 mins or so. This is one of my favourite tea stops, reasonably priced £1.10 for a mug of tea, and the staff are friendly. 


Total mileage at the end was 26 so well pleased with that. Felt comfortable on the longest ride for a month.
