An early start today so I could get some pedalling done while it was still relatively cool and shady. The scarecrow never fails to startle me when I catch sight of it out of the corner of my eye but robins happily perch on its shoulder. I am not really sure if its point anymore, hanging about like a dementor.

It is only as I write this down that I notice for the first time how de-mentor reads like the inverse of to mentor or teach, so it is a creature that is the dark opposite of the best of the Hogwart professors. I am not sure what it is unteaching me. But I manage anyway to pedal and walk all the way to Grado.
Tomorrow, weather permitting, we will take a look around the farmer’s market before going on our way
