Getting fit

I know it's taken a couple of years, but I'm now finding that walking isn't sufficiently exhausting! So, today, I have ordered a shiny new bicycle! I intend to use it to trundle up and down the hill to the village and, should I be feeling extremely energetic, to the supermarket and abbey in the nearby market town - but maybe not immediately.
Meanwhile, the joy of village life means that, "because you live in the village", I don't have to put down a deposit on my purchase. Small, rural communities have enormous benefits apart from people keeping an eye on you and noticing if you're not around for a while (though that isn't always a benefit).
I'm looking forward to increasing my fitness regime.
