sitting in suspense

Out early on the bike this morning.  This is my suspension seat post - the model is aThud Buster.  Which is handy because I've got to that age where my thuds need continual busting.

While I'm out Anniemay is racing around Richmond, Virginia.  By the time I get home the coffee is on and there's a croissant warming in the oven.  We sit in the garden making the most of the sunshine.  

Although we chat about nothing of any great importance, we never, ever forget that we are the lucky ones.  And just how fragile this peaceful place is.
