bike ride


We have had some lovely Autumn days, a lot more like the English summers I remember; still warm, and not as harsh as the actual summer here, when it feels as though your skin is being scrubbed off every time you step outside. Blerk. Do not care for that. So, I love Autumn here, when the rain makes the dead-looking grass grow back, the flowers bloom, and the cooler temperatures put a smile back on my face. I can also enjoy being outside during the day again.




I love my bike. I found it almost two years ago, and, touch wood, it is still going strong. I took it our the other day, and also got to test ride (ahem) my new old shoes, which recently arrived from Etsy. I was looking for a pair of flat red tbars for ages, and finally found them there. With high waisted denim shorts and a silk polka dot blouse, they were perfect for enjoy a sunny afternoon on two wheels.

I love the polka-dots, and that's a gorgeous Raleigh. I just found this one here in Portland, Oregon - it's a 1952 :)

In my opinion, by far the best way to get around.
