An extended thank you to all fellow members for supporting David and Theresa’s Easter egg run yes it was well worth all the hassle of phone calls, e-mails, route planning, lunch venue and the woman’s aid new venue which had to be reconnoitred; on top of our usual working days.

We all arranged to meet at bike stop at 11:00 got off to a good start with over 25 bikes. First stop was the Home Farm Trust we have visited the residents here for over four years and they always look forward to seeing us ride up, waiting in the car park in anticipation of Easter eggs. I always end up with Mary on one arm and Hannah hanging on the other, the tea and biscuits are very welcome, so too is the loo, after a photo call back onto the bikes and on to Hemel Hempstead for our next venue.

Our second stop was to Theresa’s Woman’s Aid, The weather was sunny and dry although a bit cold at times, we arrived at Hemel Hempstead at 1:30 and were greeted and chatted to Caz and staff about new venue etc. Caz would also like to thank us for the £15 donation; they will spend the money on craft materialswe donated over 30 eggs, sad but true the houses are full so god knows where the families will flock to this weekend, as its written in stone most women who finally get the courage to leave abusive relationships are picked up by the police at holiday times, Christmas Easter half term etc, as this gives them the opportunity to settle children a bit, pray they will find a happier place and peace plus they will have an Easter egg to open on Easter Sunday. A huge thank you from myself for caring for these tragic families, we had a well earned cup of tea and biscuits, a quick photo call then off to Barton le Clay before stopping for lunch, we hope you enjoyed the venue we chose, thank you to Dave Price and Steve for transporting the eggs..
