Look what I found when I arrived home from work yesterday!!
My husband and I pass a cycle shop on our walks. At Christmas time a bike like this was in the window with sold sticker attached. I used to stop and fantasize about cycling at Low head(as it's very flat and a safe cycle path all the way to George Town along the rivers edge).
My dear husband must have ordered this or spotted another.
I shrieked with delight when I saw it and can honestly say it was the happiest moment in a very long time. I think as wives and mothers we spent huge amounts of energy making other people happy and to be on the receiving end of such a gift is something I will always remember and appreciate. I couldn't believe it.
I loved cycling as a girl and had a bike when we were first married. It was replaced by a pram!!
I will find a basket for the front, pack our thermos and cycle along the river as often as I can. (my husband has a nice bike)
This cycle is called an Amsterdam by Electra. Not sure of a name for her.
Any suggestions?

ReplyDeleteThe basket will complete her, I loved the line that you had one when first married and it was replaced with a pram!!

What a cahrming bike - love it, Chris. Hope you have a terrific Mother's Day and thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderfully thoughtful. The thought alone is shriek-worthy! I think she looks like "Nancy"
ReplyDeleteWell, obviously, Electra!!!! Fancy, having a bike which comes with her own emotional baggage!
ReplyDeleteSorry, this is an old post which I just couldn't help commenting on; I just found your blog. Love your header photo.
I'm retired from paediatric nursing, I quilt, and play folk music on my fiddle and DG melodeon. Your blog ticks a lot of boxes for me!!!
