Despite the lack of sleep ( 5:15am start) I managed 20 minutes on the mat first thing. After a busy day, I checked into a hotel and set off for a few miles through the wonderful North Wilshire country-side. After finding a nice quiet hill, I added another 30 minutes sit – nice. The only company being a few cows and a large number of insects of almost every dimension; even those that stopped to bite were offered metta 😉
