The mother of four was recently trying to achieve her 10,000 steps for the day by walking to the end of the Tanker Jetty with her sons.

“As I am a mother of four small boys, many of my steps are with the children,” Ms Griffiths said.

“To keep the pace up, I often allow them to ride their bikes or scooters.

“We made the end of the jetty in great time.

“My second son, Oscar (6) was also impressed with his achievement, even though he’d ridden his tricycle.

“At the end of the jetty, he stood up off the bike, placed his hands on his hips and gave his trike a small kick to say ‘I did it!’”

Ms Griffiths said neither she nor her sons could have pictured what would happen next.

“His trike proceeded to roll away from him and bounce right over the edge, into the water,” she said.

“We watched the trike float away.

“In Oscar’s disappointment, he walked close to me all the way back down the jetty in silence.”

Not being able to sleep that night, Ms Griffiths got out of bed at 2am and went for a drive in the remote hope of finding the bike.

“I thought: ‘The possibility of finding it is one in an million,’” she said.

“The ocean is huge and the moon wasn’t out so it was pitch black – I couldn’t see anything.”

Ms Griffiths then parked at the end of Castletown Quays and hoped for the best.

“I got down to the beach and took no more than 10 steps, and I found it sitting right in front of me, half buried in the sand.

“I’ve shared this story with people and some have cried because it ministers with something in their hearts.

“Miracles do happen.”

She said the event reminded her of a scripture from the bible – Jesus looked at them and said, “With man, this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible!” (Matthew 19:26)
