Stan's got it now. We made a joke and said it might take him half an hour as he has been rather hesitant since smashing himself against the handlebars last time out.
It actually took at least ten minutes, but Down in the Park this afternoon I walked round the track with him once and then let go a bit, and then a bit more. Third circuit he was screaming at me to let go and now he's off.
Big cheesy grin and a grazed knee (one fall) and suddenly he's as pleased as punch with himself.
Very exciting for all of us - the girls have got so much out of their own learning experience and now he can join them that's basically it. Stabilisers fitted for LC soon and then it will be her turn. She's only three, but the others might just inspire her.
Sitting watching them and the swans, and the trees, and the trains in the sunshine was the perfect antidote to the stress and challenge of the Church Family meal. Very disappointing attendance (only 28 people) and NONE of the fourteen Cathedral Camp Volunteers joined us.
Stew and Dumplings for 40, so there is plenty left over to be shared around the parish. As usual everyone was very complimentary, which is rewarding as it is difficult as a veggie of 25-years to be confident cooking even the simplest stewing steak. Cn ask for no more than clean plates all round :-)
