We haven't had a daily chat for quite some time so..

Good morning all  :)

A nice sunny morning here at present,

Not much happening today,Sue has gone up to the country park for a try out on her new bike(birthday pressie from me)  :)

She has gone with my B.I.L who is a proficient road racing cyclist.Its lovely up at

http://www.rothervalleycountrypark.co.uk/

You can cycle/walk round the lakes and its nice and flat.My sis lives on the edge of it so Sue will just leave the car there and they will cycle down.


The new baby is called ..........Oliver. :)....Undecided on a middle name yet.Sue wanted the middle name to be James,That was her late husbands middle name(he died age 40 from Leukaemia)  :(

I hope you all have a nice day,right I'm off to check my plums...... :blush:  ;D

Sipping a Matcha Latte at present having just got back from the forest where Rufus had a mud bath and dug several holes. The Hobbies and Peregrines gave us a good display this morning as things warm up after the wetting yesterday and the insects are rising again which means more prey to hunt.

The central locking is playing silly bees on my car so will be playing with that later on.

Good morning all, even if you did get the day of the week wrong. ;D

It's a lovely sunny warm day here, and they're playing cricket at The Oval, so all is well with the world.

Hearing about Sue going out cycling shames me a bit, because I have a perfectly good bike in the garage, only needing its tyres to be pumped up, but it hasn't been used for a couple of years. My feeble excuse is that it's quite hilly round here. I really must give myself a kick up the posterior.

Have a good day all :)

Sue hasn't been on a bike since her childhood so she is finding it a bit tough at present,especially on the old legs..

I myself have never had a bike and my only dabble on one was about 18 years ago at Center Parks,which resulted it the bike going over tree roots,me going into the nettles and my nether regions......lets not go there  :lol:

I'm not a cyclist    :'(    .....I had a very bad accident on a bicycle when I was 15;  ended up in a gravel pit tangled in a barbed wire fence   ..... had 59 stitches in my face  ( so many because they were very tiny ones which are only noticeable to me, and less so with the passage of time  ;D) a broken nose,  and to this day I have a tiny piece of gravel embedded on the inside of my lip ........     gosh I sound like something from a horror film    :D . Needless to say I've never bothered with a bicycle since  :'(      Hubby was a racing cyclist in the UK,  and has done thousands of kms here ......  he was delighted that I wasn't keen  ...  it's his means of escape   :lol:

ATM tossing coin, which route to take for a there'n back from Ringwood to Gillingham, Dorset. The choice is cross country on winding roads, or main roads. Normally both take same time, but what with Bournemouth Airshow and holiday traffic? :-\
