Mother's Day

This morning Rhodri and Tryfan had to go a rugby festival all morning, but they still brought me coffee and toast in bed along with some gifts. I got an orchid and also some onion bulbs to plant. Then Rhiannon made me a proper breakfast and gave me her present, which was an aromatherapy set and flowers.

Around 11 am, Rhiannon and got the bikes out with the intention of riding down to Burnt Wood Farm on Tanyard Lane. However, it started out not all that great because when we tried to pump the tires up a little bit more, we couldn't get the needle out properly and totally deflated the tire. We spent about 10 minutes thrashing around, and then it was Rhiannon who said, "Hang on, let's think about this." And then she took the pump and needle and figured out a way to get air into the tire without letting air out. Result!

We rode down the road til we got the farm, then turned around and rode back. We mainly were seeing how long it took to ride there and back. It was a gorgeous morning and we had a really nice outing.

In the afternoon the boys came back and we worked in the back garden. In fact, today was the first mow of the year! So exciting. I tried to mow the lawn last weekend and the mower wasn't working so I was extra happy to be able to mow.

It was a great day all in all.
