We did this the day before, for longer. Today as Amanda had dinner in the oven we had only half an hour.
So they whizzed around, zipping through the puddles. I remember as a kid the seeming power of watching the front wheel as it cut through the water and that unforgettable sound of the water splooooooossh.
Esme took off her spangly handle bar streamers to see if they were really magic, to see if she could still ride her bike. She could. We asked her if they were magic because the day she bought them was the day she learnt to ride. [I must re-read Dumbo and point out the magic feather.]
