Pedalling like a believer

13/05/2020 20angel13

I’m walking like a cowboy, my knees are socially distancing from each other and my back aches. But I’m happy. I hadn’t cycled for at least 20 years, probably more. I have a friend who is a veteran cyclist. She … Continue reading Pedalling like a believer

Aw, bless…

03/05/202004/05/2020 20angel13

Millennium Bug

21/03/2020 20angel13
