    I’ve often felt that the village gets slightly less severe weather than the surrounding areas – no idea why, perhaps it’s something to do with wind patterns and the rising hill of the Heath to the north – but there’s 4cm of snow out there at best, it’s dappled with grass poking through, and it’s

    If the prevailing winds are from the continent, I would be expecting Waxwing in the next week or so?

    To central Reading via Eversley & Arborfield and returning via Burghfield, Riseley, and Mattingley. The Longbike is comfy enough that I can still walk… deeply w00t! Next stop: the half-century.

    The point where the A33 crosses over the M4 at Junction 11 is pretty hideous for cyclists; the roundabout is filled with fast traffic, its six lanes wide at points, and frankly it seems wisest to steer clear if crossing the motorway North/South. So what are the alternatives, in an area between J10 and J12?
