Cycling for Happiness - Steve Coel
In all fairness she must have expected the water to be pretty cold. It was early November after all and a long damp summer couldn't have been helping her to think clearly. But there you go, what can any of us do about it now?
Anyway, being short of money haddidn't stopped her taking them all away for the weekend, and I suppose she thought the break would do them all a bit of good. In what way though I'll never really be sure now I think about it.
She'd booked a side street B and B. So no thrills there then.
Thing is at that time of year all the rides on the front are boarded up for the winter and even the caffs are empty, so I guess the children must have been pretty miserable about it all. But as they say a change of scenery can put a lot out of your mind, even briefly.
Like I've heard that if a car were to drive on to your foot the adrenaline will give you the strength to pick the car up and save yourself. So I've heard.
Even so, no one's really sure where she got the strength from to disappear into water with her kids like that.
