Next generation

The last time I saw my god-offspring they were both unsure and struggling with taking the first few pedal strokes, but since then they've both cracked it and have new bikes.  I accompanied them down the road to our local river - which really was like herding cats and I was very grateful to the tractor driver who pulled over and let us (slowly) pass.  The journey home uphill was always a big deal when I was little so I was really impressed that they both made it up without stopping or walking.
