we got our new bikes today! now bearing in mind that i havent ridden a bike for about 20 years let me tell you it was rather entertaining!!! it was good fun tho. i will have to slowly build up my stamina tho was knackered just riding it back from the shop and its only a 15 min WALK away!!! murrae almost got himself killed, the kid has no road sense! guess thats what comes of living at the edge of the school playing field where there is little or no traffic. we will have to watch him like a hawk. stevi and i were pulling out of a junction so he just followed mikey who was sailing a bit close to the wind! he didnt realise that the car was coming up behind him! kids under 12 can cycle on the pavement but thats it. AND it is a legal requirement that we have to wear helmets! bonnie!!!!!!. wont be cycling anywhere that i have to worry about the state of my hair!!!
michael has gone crazy, speeding around the courtyard and up and down the drive like a maniac, these pictures of him are titled 'bam on a bike' 1, 2 etc!! hopefully the rain will stay off at the weekend and we can cycle down along the beach as there are cycle paths, its all very busy here, people are out speed walking when i am on my way to work at 6 in the morning!!!! are these people mad!!!! sorry its taken so long between posts but whoever has the unsecured wireless connection rumbled us and cut us off so i have had to resort to dial up until our broadband is set up but that takes 10-14 days. notice the absence of single photos of me on my bike!!! dont think i will get away with that so will post single photos of the rest of us soon!!!!

Ahh... You all look so cute on your bikes. By the time I come over in January you will be all super fit. Hope you are enjoying your new lives, I expect it will be really strange at first but it looks like a much better quality of life. Loads of love to you all Sparkle.xxxxxxxxxxxx
thanks sparkle, your daughter has inspired me!!! we plan to go on bike rides along the beach, have lunch and a beer and then cycle home!!! we love it here, cant believe that we have been here for a month!!! we are still settling in but it feels like we have done the right thing. see you in january xxxxx
kenny ya cheeky shite, i'll have you know that we have actually enjoyed it. we are taking the bikes down to the beach on the cycle path tomorrow. its a total different way of life here and i have to be honest i love it. it is taking a bit of getting used to, i mean not being out every sat night and not knowing hardly anybody but i think all in all we are happy and are content that we made the right choice. sitting out in the garden this evening we could hear the people at the bowling club so i think it would be a good way to meet folks if we join, that can be one of michaels jobs while i am at work!!!! its closer to our house than the croft is to yours!!!
You look so sweet....like the Waltons or something!
The family that cycles together, goes to the pub together!
Hope the rain stops soon, am developing SAD! Loves ya, see you on Friday for 'Ladies Shoes Night'!!!
no people we are not really on a health kick, its just that we are trying to turn our lives around, the kids and i need to lose a bit of weight and everyone is so fit over here. i pass people out speed walking at 6 in the morning!!! now i know that i am trying to be healthy but holy shit thats bloody early!!! theres a lot of day left to be tired in!!!! we are used to going to bed not much before midnight but with me getting up at daft o clock i am shattered by 8.30!!!!!!
yes nat hun, definately agree the family that bikes together pubs together!!!! nothing else for it!! oh i so cant wait for the rain to stop, we couldnt see on the way home last night! oh that and the tornado prediction this morning was a bit of a worry!! and murrae couldnt understand why he wasnt allowed to take his bike to school today!!!!! i cant wait for our 'lady shoes' night out on friday either, however, new work mates + wine = disaster= making arse of oneself!!!
