hibernating
I confess I’m still not quite happy with the way things look around here, even after all my redecorating. However, I am bored of tinkering for the time being and have decided ‘good enough is good enough’ for now. I … Continue reading

2014 – a year of running and gardening
I don’t know whether I ever said it here, but early in 2014 I decided I couldn’t do everything this year, and I’d concentrate on just two things – running, and gardening. After my year of buttling in 2013, I … Continue reading

disappearing act
Oops. After all my ramblings you’d be forgiven for thinking I’d run off to actually be someone else. I just don’t know where the last three weeks have gone! I usually find a hint while looking through my photographs. Hmm, … Continue reading

Today we’ve been to Yorkshire Sculpture Park, and I don’t know how I’ve lived here for eleven years and not been before. I also don’t know how I managed to take so many photographs (155!) and yet so few pictures … Continue reading

walking round the city (1)
Today we went for a walk. Along the deeply eroded path through the heather, and up on to the top of the rocks. I love this place. It’s close to the city, and so windswept, and you can see ever … Continue reading

whose stupid idea was this?
Here I am, being laughed at by my sister at the start of the Chester Marathon last Sunday. You might remember she was meant to be running too, but hurt her leg (apparently) so had to pull out. She doesn’t … Continue reading

converging
Looking at my posts for the last few weeks you’d think I did nothing but run and go on holiday. Not true, of course, although I have done quite a bit of both of those things lately. The marathon is … Continue reading

excursions
Our holiday wasn’t only about eating cake and watching the clouds. We did squeeze in a couple of excursions, to Acton Scott historic working farm, to Blists Hill Victorian Town, and to Fordall Farm, all of which I’ve wanted to … Continue reading
