BIKE RIDE + POOR SENSE OF DIRECTION + VERY UNFIT = FAIL!
Last week I thought I would go for a bike ride to see Reon at work. So I packed some lunch and gave him a call and made sure it wasn't to far away or to hilly, he said 20min and no hills so off I went. After biking for 45min and biking up and down hills I thought I must be going the wrong way seeing as I hadn't reached the road I was meant to turn down to get to him! I turned around and biked back the way I had come and stopped in to a house to ask for directions. A little old lady came to the door but she didn't know what I was talking about when I asked her if white horse street was near by. She told me that yes I could find white horses near by if I kept riding my bike!! I then asked her if there were any roads further up and she said that she never turned left out of her drive way and only went right so she had never been up that road before!!! So I got on my bike and biked home.... It turned out after talking to Reon that I was on the right road and just needed to keep biking!


Wouldn't you call this a hill?!?!

There are so many pretty orchards and vineyards around...


PURE APPLE JUICE!!
Lillian has given me her juicer for the winter so I took a sequence of photos of an apple from the tree to being made into juice...

Thank you! Reon just laughed at me when I called them 'hills!' I'd like to see him get on a bike and bike out there!! My fitness levels are very poor though, hopefully snowboarding in powder fixes this ;-)
