We have kept busy even with all the rain but with two little ones running around it is hard not to keep busy as the chores never seem to end and the Garden just swallows up man hours without giving any noticeable results. Hopefully with the nice weather I should be able to get more done outside and hopefully get a few more bike rides with the little ones. I have now packed a camping stove in my panniers so I can make myself a nice cuppa at the half way/turn around point while the cargo (Beth and William) stretch their legs, that's the plan anyway.
We had a nice change of scene over the weekend as we went back east to the home counties to stay with Mum for the weekend and help out as she was throwing a garden party for 70 people. It was a really enjoyable weekend, lots of good food and too much cider, well actually I don't think you can ever have enough cider. Withdrawal symptoms this week though as I will be drying out again to help re-start my diet and waiting for pay day. Little William was a real star at the party, he has no fear of crowds unlike his Daddy and was quite happy mingling, finding which tables would give him the most cake, he was wonderful watch.
Although the car journey was quite long with the two little ones it wasn't to bad as I found I could read my kindle in the car. Usually if I read car maps I tend to get travel sick so it was nice to find I could read my kindle and not feel sick. I find it hard to read at home due to the little ones and back ground noise and if I read when I go to bed I tend to fall asleep during the first paragraph so to get 3 hours or so of reading in one go was a real bonus.
Well that's my cup of coffee dry so I suppose I had better get back to the grindstone and get out in the garden, but before I close I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that sponsored my bike ride, I have managed to raise £142 for Help For Heroes which I am really pleased about, so thank you all once again.
