It would make perfect planning sense to buy a bike that Toby could inherit but of course the bike manufacturers realise this and produce only very pink or very blue bikes . . . it goes without saying what colour we came away with. 
From there we headed straight for the park to try it out. Both kids fell asleep on the way and by the time we arrived, it was raining rather hard. In hope that it would clear up, we drove on to Clumber Park. Thankfully it was sunny and lovely when we got
there and Beth jumped straight on and off she went. The weather didn't hold out for long but we sheltered under a tree and ate our sarnies and sausage rolls until it passed. Toby joined in with lunch and looked longingly at Beth's bike
(imagining himself with it, but obviously not in that colour!), for the time being he will just have to make do with the carrier or pushchair. 
After a break for ice cream we went to look around the walled garden. It was beautiful, lots of fruit trees, vegetables and masses and masses of rhubarb. Beth was most interested in the scarecrows (actually, she was only interested in those). It was a very enjoyable day. :)

A new bike, how exciting! Who says Toby can't inherit that bike? Take off the flowers and add some skulls. Take off the white tires and make them black. Voila! To this day riding a bike brings me back to being a kid, hope it does the same for Beth. Wheeeee!
