End the week in Brighton
Posted in General | By tim |
It was a pretty hectic week – we moved house, planted our vegetable patch, had some people round for a BBQ, went to work, continued to tidy and finish the house and to top it all off we cycled 60 miles from London to Brighton on Sunday in the British Heart Foundation charity annual bike race.
It was great fun – although the early start (5.15am) plus 6 mile cycle to the start at Clapham Common and the 54 miles and many hills in between were a real challenge. We were all done by 12.30 and after a slap up meal laid on by the hospitable Aunt of one of our team mates “Strictly Come Cycling” (thanks!) we headed back to London in a van.
The finale of the day was a street party in our new street – not quite in our honour but actually because one of the sets of neighbours’ further down the street is leaving for Hong Kong. Fabulous opportunity to meet a few new people (desperately trying to remember names etc) and for them to meet us. And very grateful to be fed and watered so well after such an exhausting day. Bed by 10pm…
