yrieithyddThat was very silly!
On Wednesday evening, I was cycling along the Grantchester Road to go ringing in Trumpington, which I have done a few times recently.* I glanced down and realised that my front light was failing, so I decided to stop to change the batteries. This was mildly irritating, but I had spare batteries in my bag so no big problem. Indeed I'd had to do something similar as I was leaving Grantchester after going to the pub with the ringers last week. I stopped and got off my bicycle onto the grass verge. Unfortunately, I'd managed to stop right by an indentation in the grass verge and when I stepped back I fell down it (because the ground was 6 inches lower than I expected) and sprained my ankle. A car was approaching and sped past, but then reversed back to see if I was ok. The driver was willing to give a me a lift, but in fact I had a lift from a woman with a larger car into which it was easier to put the bicycle. I did feel silly. It also means I can't ring or ceilidh tonight.
*Ringing in Trumpington that is; I've only used the Grantchester Road as opposed to the Meadows once, but it's nicer in the dark because there are white lines and no cattle grids.
