I didn't have much choice with the photograph as I had to help Lily set off at the time, although I do like them taken like that (and to retain Lily's privacy). <br />Ha ha!

I've managed a few chores over the last couple of days so it doesn't look as bad. A good clearout is also on the cards which will make life easier, but again, it's finding time to do it.<br />Ha ha! Yes, I often wear my trainers when I'm out with Lily - bike or no bike.

We've been practising in short bursts so she doesn't get too tired. It's a lot of work for little legs.<br />It's been so cold lately, but thankfully the icy wind has died down now. I'm not surprised you're glad you're within four walls rather the caravan at the moment.<br />I hope you manage to contain your wild garlic.

I used to sit and worry about what hadn't been done when it would have been quicker to get up and do the job and have it done with. Not that I do that. I just try not to think about things too much these days lol. <br /><br />What an achievement for Lily. There'll be not stopping her now. I'd don the trainers for all future outings! I'm ready for some warmer weather now and hope it isn't too long in arriving, although I believe there's supposed to snow at Easter! xx<br /><br /> Everyday life at Number 38https://www.blogger.com/profile/12945846951398052455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564665415681304577.post-59241191685116162592018-03-20T23:13:47.711+00:002018-03-20T23:13:47.711+00:00i remember the bike moment well with both my daugh...i remember the bike moment well with both my daughters though it is a l o n g time ago now and I am waiting for that moment again with my granddaughter when she is old enough for a bike.<br />It is still cold here but better than the weekend the tempreture inside our house dropped to 13C overnight on Saturday - must be a first as we are well insulated - I bet our caravan was much colder - glad we were not there.<br />When someone mentions that wild garlic I get an anxiety attack thinking about the ever growing patch at the cottage garden - I expect it will be everywhere when we return - looks lovely in flower but is quite a menace in large quantities!!
