Ooooh. Shiny.

The girls and I got caught out in this (at one point I thought my little car was going to drown) on our way home from getting
this:


a 1966 Robin Hood.



Isn't she pretty!



She rides really nice, too.


I think I shall call her "Marian." (OK, maybe not.)


I'm looking forward to getting to know her.

I'm not sure if Pete is delighted or concerned that I was so taken with the old 3-speeds after doing the 3-speed tour that I had to get one of my own via a stranger from the Internet on a dark and stormy afternoon. For that matter, I'm not sure if I should be delighted or concerned. Is this a cry for help? Do I have a problem? Nah. After all, I've only got 3 bikes now, while certain other members of this household have 2 million 14. And I don't want any more. Really. Well, except maybe a Dunelt...or a Hercules...and I wouldn't turn up my nose at a Raleigh...
