Suns out, Bikes out!

Today was a glorious sunny and warm day, some would even call it a heat wave since that is what a lot of media types are saying. So what better to do than go along to the Garden Village Fete, with a load of Blood Bikes and enjoy the weather.

It was a glorious event, we even had queues forming to sit on the bikes, one mother informed me that she had been trying to get her young son to go for a donkey ride for the last fifteen minutes, but he just kept pointing at the bikes and saying he wanted to go there. Who can blame him, big bright motorbikes beat donkeys any day of the week.

It was a good day to stand in the sun, eat ice-creams, and talk to the public about what we do and why. We even met some young kids that while they were having their photos taken on the bikes, their mothers let us know that we had been delivering breast milk to them after the were born prematurely. It is always heartwarming to meet people we have helped, especially when we see how well they are doing now.

I think I may have gotten a bit of sunburn on my arms, but it was well worth it.
