Running up that hill

Or, more precisely, running up those hills. Rachel did her first 10K run on Sunday 23rd September with Vicki in the lovely grounds of Bowood House in aid of Cancer Research. You can make an after the event donation at the link on the right.





Rachel completed the distance in a little over 63 minutes, hopefully the flatter course at Southend in a couple of weeks will be covered slightly quicker.

Here's a short clip of her arriving at the finish (with Martha providing vocal encouragement), just click on the play button.




Thanks to everyone who sponsored Rachel, you can still add some more at this link.

Second home by the sea

Another short trip over the holidays to Waxham Sands in Norfolk to take advantage of the Crisp / Collins joint venture holiday home. Yes, it's a Sprite Alpine caravan.
There was some rain and the on site chippy's chip machine was broken rather scuppering our dinner plans.
Thomas and Martha took to sleeping on the bunks really well in their new sleeping bags.



The sun was out the following morning so we headed for the beach (all of 2 minutes walk away).



Guess who had to do all the digging for this!



Here's the co-owner



It was also a good afternoon for kite flying, Martha enjoyed it.



Having sussed things out this summer we'll probably go back next summer.
