my bicycle

I have a very good bicycle. It was made by a young South African many years ago.

I hadn’t ridden it for many years, and it took a bit of practice to get used to it again.

It was very exciting when I finally felt ready to take it out into the world.

After a local ride or two, in rain

and shine

I prepared for a great expedition.

This map, made by Ellie, shows where I went.

You can see the postcards that I sent to my friends. I also sent some vegan clotted cream to Bimbo, and a flatpack harp to Dillion.

I didn’t always know where I was. As a matter of fact, I never knew where I was, though the CROESO I GYMRU sign helped.

I was aiming to get to the seaside, and eventually I succeeded. I camped in the dunes.

I swam in the sea, and made sand-castles.

It was a never-to-be-forgotten experience.

I must get back on my bicycle again when the weather gets a bit warmer.
