Marc the glider

Marc went gliding today, it was a present from his sister for his 40th birthday back in November.
It was amazing.
I took lots of photos of this occasion, here are just a few

Race For Life

Today I ran 5 kilometers in 36 mins and 33 seconds.
Hoorah.

I had no intention of running it, but then i just sort of ended up running for 3k with Emma, and then i stopped and was a bit dizzy (note to self when running in any group kind of running exercise, don't stop running just keep going) so then i walked for about half a kilometer whilst Emma carried on running, and then i felt much better and a steward told me it was only 1.5k left to go so i ran again.
I could also see Emma ahead of me which pushed me on.

There is dodgy photo on facebook, which quite frankly can just stay on facebook.

Rock Chicks

It was our 11th wedding anniversary on Friday and Emma and Paul had the girls for the weekend for us and it was lovely having a lie in on both Sat and Sun.

Emma and Paul turned the girls into 'Rock Chicks'

Recent garden photos

Here are some recent photographs of our garden.

The girls in 'their cave', i bought this pink thing from a car boot in Devon.

Glinda heard the word frog, frogs are tasty to a chicken.
