7.5 mile run at Crossways - cyclemeter.com/d69321724dc5b875/Run-20150220-1449 …, We drove over to Crossways after dropping Joseph off after his sleepover. He was a very good boy and had a party to look forward to. We got Morrisons done and then journeyed to Sandra's where Alison was pruning the wisteria. I went for a run during that time and just caught the hail toward the end of the run. It was very cold! It was home for a long dog walk and an early evening cleaning the fish tank before getting the wood burner going for the last time this half term.

Half term swimming

Alison, myself, Maria and Joseph went swimming at Ringwood this morning. Lovely time with Joseph showing less fear of the water than previously.

Moors Valley 17th Feb

I cycled to Moors Valley to meet up with everyone yesterday. I took the long route via Horton, Gaunts Common, Holt, Three Cross and finally the country park itself. With the ride home, the total mileage was a shade under 20 miles, my longest ride of the year so far. We hit the busiest time of the year so far with the car park full but managed to get in. Starting at the play park, we followed with feeding the ducks, holding some owls and the play trail. Some great photos!

Smallworld Reborn

It's a good time to restart this after 10 years! Can't believe it was that long ago I started writing a blog but given things like Facebook and Twitter, it's no surprise there are quicker and easier ways of sharing information and photos which mean a blog loses its appeal. At the same time, this does offer a more detailed and less transient means of writing what is almost a diary. Let's see how it goes.
