A Day to Remember. The Past Simple Tense

One afternoon last summer,
my good friend Jane came round and invited me to go on a bike ride with her. I thought it would be a fun day and so we arranged to meet in the
morning.

The next day I got up
early and made lots of
delicious sandwiches to take with us. We set off early and it was lovely and peaceful as we cycled down the country lanes and past the open fields .The weather was lovely and the time flew past.

We jumped up and ran
away, leaving the picnic
behind.

and very hungry but we were happy.
