So here it is the new bike! Although ironically enough I have a very bruised swollen knee from a game of football tonight and will be very surprised if I'll be able to get on it the next couple of days! But here's to our cycling mission 😁

My sister is very into bikes so I let her choose it and I'm assured it's a very good bike! I got out on it yesterday for 8k and loved every minute of it 😁 I'm aiming to cross train and use the car a lot less where possible

Oh and thank you for the oven gloves, if only I could actually cook lol! My mother failed me when it came to teaching me to cook

Pretty! Hello!

If you can read, which I know you can, then you can cook! That gorgeous shiny hob of yours may get scruffier tho!

Bike's a beauty! Enjoy it :-)

Haha , it's never too late to learn :-) xxx

Is it a trail/mountain bike ? It looks the business ! Must be a great feeling riding one of those !

Well done on the 8k ! :-) xxx

It is called a hybrid bike which is in between really. I mainly want to use it to get to work 10 miles away but that's a way off so I'm going to drive halfway then bike and build from there. Want to increase my fitness and the mental benefits I get from excerciing too! I have just been diagnosed with a heart condition and the running is a tad heavy four times a week so this shall keep me satisfied for a bit lol. And thank you 😁

Oh yeah, I could keep mine in there. My husband wouldn't mind as long as it didn't block the oven. Not that he ever goes there but he likes me to.

Oh what a lovely bike! Hey, same colour as mine. The bike that is, not the oven glove!

I'm jealous that you've been on yours already. I haven't yet. Circles floor with toe in sad fashion. I did wear the hat to eat my dinner last night, complete with flashing light, just to get into the swing of things

Nah, I didn't. Only kiddin.

I can't put it outside just yet as it retails around 600 and would disappear lol!

Crumbs! No crumbs on your kitchen floor, no spills on your hob and no scorch marks on your ovengloves. You're one tidy lady. Oh, is there a bike in the photo? I was too busy being impressed with your pristine kitchen to notice ;)

That is because no cooking ever occurs in that kitchen ! 😁
