This week heralds a change in how one does the school run. As you know Bunny Delicious has recently become a joint venture between myself and the other half, so, until we elevate the business to “joint income status” (something you just cannot do as one person overnight) we are looking at reducing all costs back to basics, including NOT using the car for 4 mile round trips to school, so out came the bikes!
Initially I was excited (until I hit the steep hills), excited again (until I fell off trying to bump up a kerb)
excused from cycling on Thursday due to extreme knee bruising, and then back to loving it again on Friday and feeling all Emily Lloyd in “wish you were here” (great 1987 film).
Would have liked to have done a Meg Ryan “City of Angels” and shut my eyes and held my arms out and cycled along in the wind, but given that she met a sticky end with an articulated lorry, perhaps not.
There is certainly a sense of freedom whilst cycling along, just you, your thoughts and the open road. When outside, your tangled thoughts are straightened out and for me, if I’m struggling to put something together creatively, I find the creative blockage clears and the solution is simple.
I’d like to think it will last, but looking at the looming black clouds as I type, I know that the first splat of rain and that car is coming out! Plus if I break my arm falling off, who will design, how will the stuff get made? Oh my goodness, now thinking about it, what a RIDICULOUS, WRECKLESS idea…..now it’s raining. Amen I sigh silently
