Well this morning's ride lasted about 5 minutes. Just long enough to get up the road to the roundabout and position myself in front of some blind cow who proceeded to play cyclist skittles.

Result:

Me: bruised quad and arm, plus grazes on my knee, bum and elbow.
Bike: both wheels out of true, seat busted, fork looks dodgy, might replace bars as well

I think she hit the front wheel/forks and tipped me over the bonnet. I got to watch the sky from a new perspective for a second or two and landed on the road on my back.

I had witnesses so the insurance claim should go through sweet along with the driver paying the excess.

Overall just happy to be in one piece and feeling a bit shaken still.
