The End

Once upon a time it was shiny, new & loved. It was the most exciting present ever. It was the first wobbly step on the road to freedom and independence.

And then the stabilisers came off and it was the source of more than a few scraped knees. But too soon it was replaced, first by a mountain bike and then girls. Finally, unloved, it was tossed into the River Dee ... but missed.

I dont know why but even though i enjoyed a happy, productive, sunny day - this seemed incredibly poignant.
