Giddy-up horsey

So this week, Alfie Porsche (30 years old) failed his MOT and needed welding (and more bodywork needs doing.

Husband's bike (30 years old) needs parts and there's a worldwide shortage - plus there is more wrong than he realised, and a new one might be cheaper.

Plumber got hot water working again but pointed out that spares are no longer available for our boiler (only 20 years old) and we need to think about getting a new boiler before winter.

Woman who wanted the pushchair didn't turn up. (She said she'd forgotten.)

It's been one of those weeks.

But on the plus side we had a lovely walk yesterday in Clyne with one lot of grandchildren. (Photos focus on the greenness of the park.)



And today we had another lovely walk with another lot of grandchildren up a big hill, with lots of bluebells, and down a golf course. GrandSon4 used my scarf as reins for his horse (me) and we galloped across the greens. Or rather around the edge: we didn't want to get by flying golf balls.

A little bit of rain didn't deter us.

Yes, apparently there's been a HUGE RUN on bikes of all descriptions during the pandemic. Stores here in Edmonton have quite spotty inventory and waiting lists for a new bike are long. Makes me feel good about not being an avid cyclist, LOL! O wise me!

Well at least the bad stuff was over quickly and ended with really good stuff!
