Alexa Loves : London to Brighton Cycle Ride

Today my husband Daf, brother in law Matt, his girlfriend Diana and a group of friends cycled all the way from London to Brighton - I have so much respect for them. Last weekend I cycled 10 miles and had sore legs...I can't imagine cycling over 50 miles! I was at the finish line, excitedly waiting for them to arrive. Congratulations guys - I'm so proud and what a way to raise money for the British Heart Foundation.

Today was the perfect opportunity to get to grips with my new camera. It's a Nikon D7000 and is just lovely to use, but is quite a lot more advanced than my old D40. I also have a 35mm 1.8 lens to play with - fun times! (Unfortunately I was so excited when they finally appeared on the horizon that I lost any ability take any photographs and shot ones of the floor! How rubbish am I?! They cycle 50 miles and I can't even press a button!) These images are unedited, as I still have to learn how to photoshop but I'm pretty pleased with the results straight out of the camera.
