Accident

Waiting in the cold dark rain for Rowan to come out of school yesterday, my phone goes. It is Danielle saying she has come off her bike, the police and ambulance are there, she has to go to hospital. Not good. So I have to wait with the dog until Rowan emerges, then collect Danielle's bike from the scene of the accident [just near school], walk home with daughter dog and bike. Then get Rowan and I over to the hospital to collect Danielle who is now x-rayed, checked up and fine, but with facial wounds [ heavy swelling and a black eye]. So, it could have been a lot worse, all will be fine, and we have a new family rule - if you're on a bike, you wear a helmet.
