Never again do I get caught up in a conversation with my Grandfather and Step-Grandmother!
Both my mother and I went over to their house at about 1PM today on our bicycles as it was a nice sunny day, and it was only after hours of sitting talking that I realised it was 4:30 and it was getting dark!
We got about half way down the main road from their cottage before it got almost 100% pitch dark.
No, we don't have lights on our bikes, as we never go out in the dark usually.
Anyway, we managed the 4 miles home in pitch dark with no lights, but my hands got so cold I literally couldn't feel them nor brake, so I was darn glad to get in the house and crank up the fire in the living room for some heat.
Never, never again.
I think I may buy some lights for the bikes now though just in case that happens again.
On the bright side, I did manage to eat a slice of home made ginger cake while we were there, which tasted extremely good.
