I do
try to cycle to school with my little girl!
The car journey is much longer, and we have to leave earlier to get parked near the school so the bike is preferable. On the other hand I do feel that I have to be
sure that it
won't rain.
It's not much fun to be a wet and bedraggled five year old arriving for a day of learning at school!
My little girl's school is on the other side of the River (
Thames) , and when we do cycle, the journey takes us over Teddington Lock.
As we are having an Indian summer we were able to cycle today, and I managed to take a few photos on my way home. Sadly, I do not have a very grand camera, but I do hope this will give you a little taste of our delightful journey!

I love the very Victorian industrial look of the bridge,
which contrasts with the river |

| Can you see the Heron, sunning himself? |

| A spider's web |

| More contrast:-metal, water, trees and concrete |
 |
| Where shall we go today? |
 |
| Paths through Ham Lands |
 |
| Sporty cyclists! |

| Our favourite mode of transport! |
I wonder if that's my heron?http://mrsminiversdaughter.blogspot.com/2011/01/walking-along-river-i-almost-missed.html
ReplyDeleteCould be! He was very relaxed, I missed the manic cormarant diving near him, and the grebe.
ReplyDeleteWe saw two herons, together, at Pen Ponds on Sunday. When they took off, they looked like a Chinese painting. Wonderful.
What a lovely route & it's looking like you can go by bike for a while longer !
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to get to school.Beats a car journey anytime.
ReplyDeletePenny, your right I could go into central London, but the coffe pot is usually calling!
ReplyDeleteCoiokie Jar, it's wonderful, particulary during the heat spell we are having here in London!
