Wonky Toenails

Yeah, I’ve got a new design on my toenails…. Unfortunately the nails themselves aren’t in the greatest of shape, but you can see the design Anna was going for. They look pretty good, but would have been better on complete toenails. With back to back races over the coming 3 weeks and then the start of...

Bands, Brunches and Bank Holidays

2 Day Weeks Another weekend has gone and this one was a Bank Holiday Weekend – Although I’d kind of forgotten that as they all seem to roll into one these days. I also work from home on Mondays and Tuesdays every week so Bank Holiday Mondays don’t mean much to me. The weekend was action...

Friday Morning Windsurf

It’s always nice to start the day with a sea swim. Sometimes however the sea isn’t in the mood for you to swim in her. Luckily for those days there’s always windsurfing!!

The Rame Peninsula – Camping Trip Day 2

Today looked like being a bright sunny day. There was still a breeze blowing and some wind-blown waves on the long expanse of sands at Whitsands Bay. Rather than drive anywhere we decided to walk down the cliffs to the beach today instead. We of course had a swim and pancakes at the campsite first....

The Rame Peninsula – Camping Trip

Our family holiday this year was a week on the Rame Peninsula. We were camping in Ramsey, our VW campervan after racing at the Pivot 24/12 MTB races near Plymouth and had no real plans for the week. Typically after months of long hot summer with blue skies, hot still days, warm nights and no...
