First time on a bike yesterday in probably 25 years! And the same bike from then too 😊 It started off being terrifying but then it was fabulous! Not too far for the first outing, but a nice little jaunt around exploring some of the site our lodge is on 🚴‍♀️

Two weeks ago we were delighted to welcome the early but safe arrival of our second granddaughter, weighing a tiny 5lb 6oz 😊 Big sister Matilda has waited patiently for ‘baby sister’ Anastasia (Annie) to arrive and adores her. My heart is fit to burst 🩷🩷

One of the best things about New Year #christmascake #cheese
