Took the long way to find coffee this morning, gorgeous drive out to Beachy Head βοΈ
Canβt quite believe the weather, I was in the sea yesterday and it was lush π this time last year I ran the Beachy Head Half Marathon and it was baltic! π₯Ά
The @bmwuk M2 works so well on these roads, getting up early and taking it for a proper drive on days like today is what it was made for π― it does all the other daily life stuff pretty well too π€πΌ
Thanks @littlejameslittle for the coffee (and the cake) – where next? π€
