All steamed up

Another lovely sunny day...hurrah. I decided to go for a ride. I put the cycling app on my phone and pedalled off.

After an hour I stopped off in Monton and met up with Sian. It is getting rather cosmopolitan there with all the lovely cafes, eateries and bars. We sat in the sunshine with a drink and had a good old chin wag and chatted with a few people we knew and some we didn’t....then I pedalled home. I’d clocked up just over twelve miles and I was feeling quite smug.

Pat and I nipped to Bents and I bought some plants for my tubs at the front of the house....thanks to a gift voucher for my birthday. On the way home we saw signs for a steam rally but as it was in Astley Green where there is a narrow road and limited parking...and it cost £4 to enter...Pat wasn’t bothered about going. So she dropped me off home and I planted my geraniums and marigolds.

The lure of steam was too much though, so I got the bike out again and whizzed down. There was only an hour left so they weren’t charging, well I just ride straight in anyway. Oh, the smell of all those traction engines was wonderful.

By the time I arrived home I had done over 18 miles today. I’m seriously smug now. I swim, I ride...I just need to start running and I can do triathlons! Lol
