Rejoice, rejoice - for she is riding!

No sooner was the last post published  - with its bemoaning of continuing problems on the knee front -  than Greyrocks can say:

"Hallelujah - she has made it!"

There is no clear reason why - today - after 13.5 months  -the left foot could catch the pedal and Ruth could sit on the saddle and get going! Was it the surgeon's suggestion of repeated regular sessions on the gym's static bike? Was it strengthening the thigh muscles with the two machines at the gym? Was it the balancing exercises with Anna and Tania? Was it just all ever in the head? 
It no longer matters:- off she went down the promenade, as if there had never been an issue!

The irony is that Bob has had to follow on foot, as his bike suddenly seized up earlier this week and he needs a new wheel which is on its way from Tenerife! 

Never mind! Celebrations started early in our household!
