Lockdown Present

My new bike

We went to Greymouth yesterday to pick up my new bike. 

We had to go to Dads work in Greymouth to pick it up they had put the wrong town on the address and it wouldn't have been delivered to Hokitika.

The bike came in a box on a crate. 

it was sitting on this frame 

Dad and i had to put the wheels on it we had to use blocks of wood to lift the bike up and use his tools to put it togther

 It is a automatic bike. That means no gears to change like my Dads bike. My Mums bike has gears that she has to change when she rides it.

I do have this foot gear leaver this is for forward and reverse. If you are in reverse you have to put it in neutral then drive to go forward 

This is the handle bars. It has brakes and the throttle. My bike also has head lights the switch is here. The lights have high and low beam

This bike has a thumb throttle. Some bikes have twist leavers to make it go

Today I got to go for a ride when the rain stopped

It was so much fun. We went to the beach. We are able to go to the beach as it is close to our house and in our bubble 

Mum took some photo's for me

I can not wait to go over to the beach again and use my bike.

I did a donut on my bike and I drifted it as well. 

This is cheese

I was doing some reading on study ladder and learning about cheese and how it is made.

Mum said she had some different cheese in the fridge if I wanted to taste it.

Double cream blue cheese 

                                           This is the cheese out of the wrapper and this it double cream blue cheese and on the outside it has black wax all around it. The wax on the outside of the cheese helps to stop mould growing on it.

                                        This is me eating the cheese. I thought the cheese tasted gross and I had to spit it out after trying it. Mum laughed at me she thought it was really funny. She likes this cheese on crackers. 

finished ice cream

            The ice cream in the bucket and it tastes vanilla but a bit different.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         






This me trying it I did really like it.
