Traveling the Public way

Since our car has been out of commission, we have had to rethink our way around the place. Last weekend was decked out with sunshine and we had super dad home so we all got on the bikes and rode places, to the park and to the baby markets. Ben had Timothy in a seat on his bike and Matthew was towed in the trailer (this weekend both boys will go in the trailer for the trip into Cambridge, about 8 miles). Come the weekdays, mummy is not so fit or strong so we turn to the buses. And guess what, it was fun and not to much bother. The first trip we went to the library, two villages over and while there went to see daddy at his work place and have all the ladies there coo over Matthew and got me some reading glasses (getting worn out i'm afraid). It was just the walk back to the bus stop Timothy objected too. So our next trip we took his dinky and it was great. As I have a rope that goes around the bars and I put him up the hills or just keep him on the right side of the road. When Timothy is playing at our friend's place, Maria, he hitched a ride with daddy.

This weekend was supper riding time. We did make it into Cambridge. It was 17 miles round trip. It was very good value as it took five hours as we hung around for three or so in town. It was a dream run, until the car. The children loved the trail and it was a beautiful day. We went to cafe's and walked around the markets. Sunday was a bit more work as I was tired but we rode to caldacote, only 2 miles or so though one of the few hills in Cambridge. We came home at lunch after the birthday party we were attending and rested for an hour or so and then went to a friends bbq. here are some pics. (Think we will just garden today instead of riding :P)

As usual, love the pics. they are both adorable and so, apparently, is the slippery dip.
To my Timothy, happy birthday darling, grandma loves you very much and you gifts will be on their way tomorrow.
