Yesterday we went for a walk along the moor that backs on to our place. The moor was one of the reasons that Andrew wanted to live here, and before Chicken was born he went running out there. One of the main reasons (in his eyes) that we got the pushchair that we did was that it has huge wheels and is built for off roading. It certanly is a tank and is not made for London streets and the tube anyway!
We walked for about 6km which took nearly two hours (I think), the weather wasn't as beautiful as Saturday but it was still a nice enough day. The moor is mostly paddocks, some of which are privately owned but people have right of way. There are lots of tracks that you can walk down, but they basically all lead to Cookham, which is where we headed. The way there was mostly flat and had very little bumps, thankfully it hasn't rained here for a week or so, which meant the ground was dry.
On the way back we took a different (if slightly more adventerous) route. The first hurdle (literally) was a stye, then it was a couple of cows in a field. From there on we lifted Chicken over fences, and around gates that let people through but not pushchairs. All was going well until we got 5 mins from home and Andrew picked out a stick from one of the back wheels which had caused a puncture. We limped home and got a puncture reapair kit from the cycle shop. Andrew is in the kitchen as we speak fixing it for me. Good thing too, we (Chicken and I) went to town today using the baby bjorn and man my back hurts!
The rest of the photos are from Saturday when we went to a local garden centre, Andrew is totally in love with the place and I'm sure he'll be taking Chicken for a weekly excursion!
