Thanks to Anna’s Mum, we now have a curtain in our dining room. Exciting stuff I know, but we have lived here for 10 years now and it’s the first time we’ve been able to close out the world through this particular window. Anna’s Mum had made us a similar curtain for one of the windows in...

We drove down in glorious sunshine on Friday and arrived at the lake for a quick look around. The course looked good and the weather looked as though it was going to be hot. We had booked...

Race Ready Toes

With a race at the weekend, it would be rude not to have new toes wouldn’t it? And you know what that means – yep, you have to endure yet another photo of my feet! What’s the race? The British Sprint Triathlon Championships at Eton Dorney on Saturday, and ‘No’, I don’t feel ready for...
