Yesterday? - yesterday was brilliant. We took the bikes and set off for a ride along the Lune Estuary. Once again we parked at Glasson Dock which was heaving with day-trippers, icecream eaters and pram-pushers. We peddled out of the village as quickly as possible and soon we were flying along the cycleway with that wonderful clear coastal air all around.
The last few days of warmth has brought on the may blossom and the air was filled with it's gentle sweet scent.
We saw our first butterflies of the year, loads of ladybirds and bumblebees.
We rode on, up to some pools that have been created from old clay pits and turned into a wild life area.
We stopped at the view point where the boys just had to have an emergency snack and their sandwiches were scoffed in record time.
We cycled on, into Lancaster and over the Millenium bridge - built at a cost of 1.8 million pounds on the site of a Roman then a Medieval bridge. Out of Lancaster and on and on, when suddenly we realised how late it was and how far we'd gone and how far we had to go back!
31.8km later, we returned to the car - saddle sore and creaky knee-d
.
Tired - but a good tired
Definately worth it.
I loved your May blossom photograph so much that I have pinched it for my desktop pic. It looks lovely. Thanks. :>) xx
