This Sunday had a theme!

So, continents apart, this Sunday had an unexpected theme - 2 wheels! 

The Sophster didn't want to hike but loved the idea of a spin, so off we shot. It wasn't as warm as our family ride in February but it was still lovely. Too bad about the part where I didn't know which road to take and so we shot down this long and fun hill, only to discover that we had to re-climb it. Sophie said something along the lines of "Why do my parents always get us lost! %@#*!" Fortunately, the 7 horses that we spotted and the fact that 6 cantered over to see her, alleviated the thigh burn.

Whilst in Toronto, the temperature hovered around -10... but that didn't stop an intrepid dad and two 11 year olds from scouring the 2nd-hand ads and scoring a new bike for Spring - which will arrive at some point... (And this of course means that Sophie has a new-to-her bike waiting in TO; in fact, her dad pointed out that her bro had received it the November before we moved to France, so it has barely been ridden.)

New wheels that will take him places into his teens!!
