A little bike ride

 So Maisie and I decided to ride to school. She has a new seat that goes between the bike handle bars and myself. She loves it way more than the seat behind me and I think it's because she can see where we going and it's closesr to me and she gets to 'steer' the bike. I say steer but all she actually does is create a brilliant work out for my arms as I am constantly counter steering hahah! Not just a leg and glut workout!!!

Last weekend I make a list of everything I personally want to achieve for myself and in my list is bike riding from London to Paris which is like to do on 2018! There I said it out loud and now have to commit to it! You ride on average 65-80km a day so I need to train, train, train! 

 

Now as a responsible parent I most probably should have ridden this ride on my own to make sure it was all ok but hey I thought I drive it everyday it's fine and decided to totally wing it baby in tow 😂 it was brilliant! Maisie will tell you we saw a dog, only one duck, a horse, cows, sheep and loads of birds. I could just about hear her excited squeaks of excitement at each animal sighting over my laboured breathe as I peddled furiously and held on to the handle bars like my life depended on it to counter steer Maisie's enthusiastic steering towards any animal we saw! 

 

After 26 minutes we got to school, deposited her at preschool and did the trek home! Only thing is I did not realise day dreaming about biking this route while driving my car is that Weston is situated at the top of a hill and it's pretty much ALL uphill the whole way home 😂 but at least there was no little person so I could swear all the way up each hill hahaha 

 

But I did it! 16k! Almost feel like I'm falling apart and the easy amble of 65-80km a day seems like a distant dream at the moment but we all have to start somewhere!

Grateful

I am grateful for so many people in my life but these last few weeks have really shown who has my back and who hasn't, who's real and who's not.    The girls and I had no home for 2 weeks as we had to move out our old house and couldn't get into our new one for a 15 days. I was so desperately worried about where my girls would sleep and be safe. I wasn't able to take them away as I had to be localish to deliver 3 weddings in those 15 days. The people that I thought would always be there for the girls, maybe not for me but definately for the girls weren't and I was devastated and actually a little heart broken.  While talking my options (or lack of them 😂) on our daily group chat with 2 of my besties - Becki instantly said I had to bring the girls to hers and to stay as long as I needed. She is one of my most favourite people and god mum to my girls.  She understood my need to ensure my girls were safe and didn't feel the immense stress of moving house. Beck...

It's a Jersey thing 🇯🇪

So much to catch up on!! Its been a little bit of me being rubbish and also having no internet for a few week. So where to start?  A few weekends ago I went on a weekend away to Jersey. I have to admit I knew nothing about this little island, never thought to visit it and believed it would be a lot like England. But my partner in crime decided on this little island for my birthday weekend adventure so off we went ....  Our adventure started in Luton airport with fun and giggles from security all the way to dinner and shopping. We literally went into every shop :), had a little picnic on the plane ✈️ and before our tea had even got cold we had landed!! We must have totally lucked in and got the nicest taxi driver to our hotel. He told us all the places to visit, where to get breakfast and was just so lovely.  Our hotel was stunning! I couldn't have asked for better, gorgeous room, spa with salt pool, steam room, experience shower, salt stream room and an outdoor pool with ...
