For the last two weeks I have been enjoying a full English breakfast, cereal and toast... what a way to start a day!! Admittedly it was then tempered by having to carry heavy survey equipment up and down (and then back up) the hills of North Wales... in December.
There is something about starting each day with +40lbs on your back and a wet, muddy, cold, windy, steep hill staring you in the face. I think the word is 'demoralising'. On the otherhand, after nine straight days of strong winds, rain/hail showers and really quite cold temps* we finished with three days where it was lovely and sunny.
What this does now mean is that I'm sitting here starving as I'm now used to having a really big breakfast, which is usually I meal I tend to skip over. But it's nearly lunchtime and then I can eat again!!!
Yay!!
* - for those that know me for most of the time I was wearing two pairs of trousers, t-shirt, body-warmer, fleece, jacket, wooly hat, two pairs of gloves, thermal socks... it was a little bit on the cold side.
