I left the house around 0650 I paused briefly to think about the route for a quick one mile, just get in some steps. Started off down the road that I don’t usually follow in the morning. I was heading for the cockle ponds.
It wasn’t much of a breeze, but what there was gave you a good feeling for what it would be like to be inside a fridge. Yes, it was that cold. The ponds looked a little choppy.
There is a point where if you go right, you carry on around the edge of the ponds. If, however you go left then you are heading towards Trinity Church, and then on to the waterfront. I was very tempted, briefly. But no, I went to the right. I was heading back towards home.
