I am Still Alive!!!

Hello all,

So sorry I have not 'blogged' for ages!!! Things have been so busy at work that I just haven't had a chance to write!!
So here are a list of things that have happened since I was last 'blogging'!!

1) I managed to cycle 30 miles!!! Grant and I rode out to Winslow (15 miles away) and stopped in a fantastic cafe there called Cappos. They do the most amazing carrot cake ever and the lady that runs it is lovely and very friendly - i would highly recommend it! And then we rode 15 miles home and it was really good and i felt fine afterwards and I managed to get up a hill that once when Grant and I drove up it in the car I said "i'm never going to get up here on a bike!"

2) I fell off my bike - TWICE!! On the ride to Winslow we stopped at a roundabout and unclipped my foot from the pedal but shifted to the wrong side, a gust of wind hit me and down i went!! I cried - alot!! Grant was very sympathetic - he came back round the roundabout, stopped next to me ( a crying heap!) and said "come on, get back on your bike!" Nice ay??
Then when we came out of Cappos i bounced down the crb and a car came round the corner, i panicked, knocked my wheel on the curb and fell down like a sack of spuds!!
Sore hand, sore arm, sore hip, sore knee!! hay ho it had to happen some day!!!

3) we did a charity bag pack at Marks and Spencer food hall in Milton Keynes city centre!! Me mum and Nan packed peoples shopping bags for 2 and a half hours a couple of Sundays ago and we raised £200!!! It was a wierd day, some people are really funny about letting other people pack their shopping bags, they have systems and things!! But most people were lovely and asked lots of questions about what we were doing and why!! and they were very generous!! So we are doing it again on Saturday 17th May and we are hoping to raise lots more - so come and see us!!!

4) When Mum came to MK for the bag pack day Grant fitted her up on her road bike - very exciting!!! She had a little ride up and down the road on the Sunday and then she came back over on the Monday evening for a proper go on it. So we put the bikes on the roof rack and drove over to Cheddington to a do a little circuit over there!! Grant very patiently trained with mum and I cycled with Malcolm who met us over there!! It was a good ride and Mum did really well (well done you!!!) She is coming back over tonight for another go on it!!!

I think thats about it really!!! I have not been out on my bike for a week as I have been working in London all weekend but I am hoping to go out tonight if the black cloud dissappears and then I have Friday and Monday off work so I want to get out every day this weekend, weather permitting and providing I can bear to be parted from the new kitten that Grant and I are getting on Friday!!!

Anyway things are a bit quirter at work now so blogs should be a bit more regular!!

Thanks for reading!!

love
