It has been a cold long winter. During this time I have vainly fought the elements which were conspiring to wreck the floor of my roofless shed. I have fought a hard battle and am winning. Not only has the shed got a roof now but the rain and wind has abated and ushered in a couple of weeks of lovely balmy Summer weather.
So what has been happening in the Wollny household? Jake is now in Senior school and has been since last September. It seems strange to think we are almost at the end of the school year. It has flown by. Jake settled in very well to the far stricter Senior school regime but not without a few grumbles regarding homework, callbacks and detention.
Mia has blossomed and is finding life good in year 3. Last week she was awarded her 50 housepoint smiley badge which she proudly wears on her blazer lapel. We have been sending Mia for extra maths lessons to boost her confidence as she has struggled in the past. This I think is paying dividends and she is enjoying her time with Jackie on a Saturday morning.
This year I am 50 and had planned an epic cycle across the fattest part of Britain. The ride had a name LeLo 500 but alas itwill have to happen another time. I did go for an excellent ride around the Norfolk Broads for two days with Ben which was excellent although I have to admit that more time was spent drinking cider than actually riding our bikes. The Hammerhead performed excellently. I had swapped out the old saddle for my comfy Brooks and replaced the knackered rear wheel with a stronger 36 spoke version. The Hammerhead now has two century rides under it’s belt. This one and last years Dunwich Dynamo. I love that little bike.
