I want to ride my bycycle...

We saw the sun today for the first time in weeks. It came with a bone-chilling wind, but hey, sunshine is sunshine so me and the boy filled up a flask with coffee, tucked a bag of crisps in our pocket and headed into the wilds.

When I say 'wilds'... the above scene is probably a 10 minute ride from our back door (amazing eh? I am getting old). We got a cracking chunky mountain bike for Xmas - big thick tyres, nice heavy frame, seat on the back for Lukey - and all we tend to do is backwards and forwards to nursery on it, so we thought we'd give it a bit of off-road.

We got suitably muddy and felt like proper country-living folk. We did.
