New toy...

The big bike makes little baby bike...

Finally bit the bullet and bought a bike! A Honda CBF125, re-named Little Red. I've never named any of my vehicles (out of principle!) so I'm not sure what that says about me. Just been for my first ride on it with Jon patiently tootling along behind me making sure I was alright (which I was by the way). Bit nervewracking at first, being a learner again after so many years is a strange feeling. I think I'm quite a confident driver so suddenly not having any confidence is weird. I'm sure it will come soon.

Just looking at this picture, they look a bit 'his and hers'. Oh dear, we'll be wearing the same jumpers next...

Stopping for a break and a photo opportunity in Aylesford

Groovy...

It's time for a background change, and this one is quite funky.
Been a busy week, I passed my CBT so I'm ready to buy a bike and get out on the road!

Had a bit of a scare with the cat, she had an altercation with the next door neighbours dog and in her haste to get away, jumped a six foot fence and bolted up the tree where she clung petrified. Not good when you have a heart murmur and you are 17 years old (and you are a cat!). She is not too bad now, although she is still limping with a torn cruciate ligament and is wary of going outside (I think it was our wallet that hurt the most after a late evening trip to the emergency vet).

Been busy in the garden. It has rained nearly everyday since we sorted out the seating area. Caroline came round and helped me plant raspberries, strawberries and pull up the weeds. Got some potatoes to plant also as soon as the rain stops.

The humble peg doll

I've started a new site dedicated to the humble peg doll. It's really more of a hobby at the moment but I'm hoping it will expand. I'm planning some more kits which will go on the website soon and I'm always buying vintage ones from e-bay!
