That was last weekend.
Sadly, I put my back out on Wednesday morning and could only look out.
This weekend, with my back back in working order, is of course, overcast, cool and windy.
Fiona and I headed out for a Maggies training cycle. The plan was to find the route through Irvine and get as far as Eglinton Park. Normally we lose the cycle path as it goes through Irvine, though we never really looked that hard.
After a couple of wrong turns we go to Eglinton Park - its been years since I was last there. We originally planned to head across the park and join the cycle route back through Dreghorn, before looping back to Irvine but time didn't allow. Instead we settled for a short loop within the park and headed back.
We had an unusual sight. At one point there was a commotion of seagulls, with no obvious cause. Then a bloke arrived in a yellow bib with a huge leather glove, and 2 huge birds of prey. The 2 birds would flit from branch to branch as he walked along the path, with the terrified gulls keeping well out of the way.
The run home was easier then the run out, as this time we had a good idea where we were going.
Of course, we are both starving when we got in. Just enough time to heat some soup and a quiche before we head out to the young farmer's talent spot in Paisley tonight.
