Birthday surprise

It is Michael’s birthday tomorrow and I’d been wondering what to get him. One of the things he is looking forward to when we move is being able to have his bicycle back (there’s nowhere to store it in the flat) and going on cycle rides together. Eureka! I thought – and ordered a tandem. His parents brought it to our house this afternoon, all put together and ready to go – he got quite a surprise when he opened the van to see it there! We’ve had a practice ride – it took a little getting used to, but it was fun!
