freewheeling

Our bike ride was ACE!!! The effort of riding my old bike with its flat tyres means I'd forgotten the potential for exhilaration. I loved the freedom and the speed and the ease with which I zipped along the country lanes – it was with reluctance I turned back homewards, I'd have carried on for miles! Of course I may not feel the same in the morning. But already I'm planning when and where we can next get out for a ride. I'd forgotten how I used to go out with my Dad and sister at the weekend when we were young. It would be great to go exploring with my kids now – tho the fear of one of us getting a puncture/injury far from home still puts me off somewhat – I shall have to think of how we could manage those scenarios. So come on Summer, I predict a whole lot of swimming and cycling these next few weeks :D

(if you look very carefully, you can see the word "joy" imprinted on my son's bike)
