Because You Have Lived.

By 5 commentsTat
To laugh often and much.
To win the respect of intelligent people, and
the affection of children.

To earn the appreciation of honest critics.
To appreciate beauty.
To find the best in others.

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child,
or a garden patch.

To know even one life has breathed easier because you
have lived.

This is to have succeeded.

Bikes for Girlies

By 10 commentsReviews, Rides

The goose is beginning to get fat and lists are already being finalised before sending to the guy in the big red suit, so I’ve been trying to help him out by seeing what’s in the market for 6 and 7 year-old girlies.

Wiggle and Evans were both displaying some lovely bikes, but well out of the price range when you consider that these will last the girls a couple of years at most, unless I discover a way to stop them growing up (every Dad’s dream?).  Halfrauds do the cracking Carerra Luna, but to be honest, it’s a little on the pricey side.  So I asked around at work – and thank goodness I did…

Within a few minutes I was speaking to the very helpful Yvonne at E B Cycles.  After a few minutes browsing around their website whilst chatting to her, I’d pretty much made my decision.  The two girls in questions are as alike as chalk and cheddar, so they’re going to need vastly different-looking bikes.

I think they’ll be very happy with the selection! That is assuming that they are Very Good Girls and that Santa is in a cooperative mood!

Tatton Tweet-Up

By 5 commentsRides

I went to my first Tweet-Up on Saturday, to meet Joby, Chris and Emma at Tatton Park. Joby (well, his Missus to be fair) has produced some T-shirts for me, the boys from work and my lad so I’d arranged to collect them from him.

A couple of weeks ago I was on for joining the three musketeers on the ride, but family commitments made that impossible. Driving to Tatton and having a brew with them was the next-best option.

I have to say it was a pleasure to meet the chaps and lady. They’d already had their lunch (they’d been 45 minutes late, I was 90 minutes late!) so I bought them another brew so we coud have a chat. I think I may have got a bit giddy and asked Joby to sell me a bike, but even allowing for that it was a very pleasant hour.

After they’d cycled off towards Sale, the kids and I stayed in Tatton Park for a stroll and had a lovely amble through the misty winter day.

Next time I meet this lot, I’d better be on my blinkin’ bike! – Or Joby’s old one!!
