This morning I went to have breakfast with Darren and Mike and then Mike and I took a walk into town. I had some packages to send off and we had a list of other bits and pieces to get. The wind was very cold so we did have a couple of drinks out and visited several charity shops. When we got back I thought it was time to have another go on the bike so Mike and I took a walk down to the pavement that runs along the side of the park and is pretty wide. It did hurt my knees a bit, but I felt pretty stable which was good.
That was me off down the hill, didn't use the assist for that but had it on low on the way back and it was very easy! I have got to work out a safe way of getting on and off though!
Mike had a go on the bike and really enjoyed it, when he has another go I will get a picture of him, will he wear the pink helmet? We went to Sainsbury's with Darren, again we had a list of things to get and we had lunch there as well. We also had a good look round in case we wanted to double up any Nectar points. When we got back and had unpacked the shopping Mike and I took a walk down to the beach hut to have a drink. Mike really liked it down there and was surprised how cosy it seemed.
On the way there we passed this crab type cherry picker, we didn't envy that guy, the wind was absolutely bitter!

 A shot of Mike looking out to the sea from the hut.
Then a shot taken by Mike with my camera using the low light feature.
It has seemed like quite a full day. I should have said that after those cycle pictures I did ride the bike round the lake in the park and felt much more confident with it.

  1. Good to know the cycle is a winner, don't over do it until your leg gets used to it. Mike will be getting one soon I expect.myour wether looks good even if cold.
    Cold every where today, better as the week goes on. X

  2. It's been a good day. Seem to have got lots done in a short time today. It's been good. The bike is great fun, and I look forward to another go. As for the pink helmet, I'll try it, it'll definitely suit me. Might be tempted to get a bike if I didn't have the car, but it would be a long ride to Scarborough!

    I look like a right poser looking out to sea in that picture, but then I am really! :-)

    1. You can think about the bike if your legs begin to ache too much with the walking. Poser, you? Never.....
