That's exciting news ITG! Fingers crossed nothing spoils it for you.

Waiting for the rain to stop before I go out for my run. Could be a while :-(

Already looking into flight over volcano for her since there is no way she can hike it.

Flight over it? That sounds wonderful, ITG. I often used to wish I could put my Mum in my pocket (she was small, but not that small) to show her sights that she could no longer walk to.

Speaking of walking.. I clumped up a few hills, along paths, and through gates, in order to admire what is normally a sea of bluebells at this time of year. Only they seem to have been held back by the cold weather in April; a few were out, but not a sea. I shall have to go back in a week or so.

That's a shame, Columba. But another outing should be nice.

I did 3.5 miles with some slightly faster bits. Hot and tired now.

It would be fab,Columba. This might be her last trip older and we are not going anywhere so I don't want to scrimp. No point working as hard as I do if I don't spend it.

That will be nice ITG, I hope she enjoys it.

My club has posted on FB that there is a club place for this year’s VLM. I was surprised as I assumed it would just be the club places deferred from last year’s race. I may have put my name forward :)

Gentle 6 mile run between rain here.
Lots of pics of NF, eg woodlands slowly turning green


slightly precarious bridges - well the 'bridge' is solid. It's the handrail and balance that's dodgy. At least when I cross it. Off Roader makes it look easy.


stumpy ponies - mid thigh height, whatever that in is hands


and of course deer


But more importantly, mandatory posting of the first baby donk I've seen this year,
