Father's Day

This morning I came down to the kitchen and encountered these two monkeys trying to make toast for their dad on Father's Day. We brought up toast, coffee and the Sunday paper and had a little party in bed with Rhodri opening his cards and a couple of small presents.

After the "Starter Breakfast", we had a real breakfast and then set off to ride bikes on the Cuckoo Trail. We have been talking about going on this for awhile but just hadn't really looked into what the logistics would involve. As it turned out, the logistics were very simple and we had a fantastic outing!  We parked in Hellingly and rode up to Horam, which is another village distance of 4.5 miles away. The trail was really lovely and very leafy. It was kind of a drizzly morning but not too cold and it felt good to be out in the fresh air riding bikes!

Once we got to Horam, we were ready for some refreshment. We stumbled upon Wessons, a really cool biker and cyclist cafe in the middle of the village.

After our leisurely and nourishing stop in Horam, we got back on the bikes and sped back down to the car in Hellingly. The return trip was slightly downhill so it was extra fun to ride fast.  We got home and by then the sun had come out so we lounged around and played in the back garden. I made a nice Sunday dinner of roast lamb and vegetables and the kids played lightsabers with Rhodri afterwards.

So all in all, it was a really nice Fathers Day.
