Day two

I started the day with something of an anxiety attack: nausea, and generally feeling rather icky. I know that's what it was, because it's happened to me once before, on the second day of our trial trip to Daylesford. It was odd, happening today; I knew the trip to Selby was going to be basically flat, and what worried me last time was the hills. Anyway; I could barely choke down cornflakes and toast, which was an utter tragedy since I could have had French toast with berry compote! Talking to my mum briefly helped a little; then, as soon as we were outside on the bikes, I felt just fine. Being out of our sauna-like room probably also contributed.

A long day, but overall quite good; saw a nuclear power station and a squirrel, and heard a cuckoo! (It's the small things...) Also, Maggi noodles have never tasted as good as they did in that bus shelter.

Generic motel room in Selby tonight; very much looking forward to seeing York tomorrow. And Pluto along the way, as long as some bugger hasn't knocked it over.
