Sunday Funday

What a wonderful day I had yesterday. 
Plethora of photographs coming up on account of my new camera!!

Along with my Son & his girlfriend, Hubby & Pup we visited the Lancaster area, namely two small villages; Hornby & Wray. Wray holds a Scarecrow Festival at the end of April which I will be returning for.....I'd like to live there too, it's gorgeous!

We walked, found new cycle trails, made plans to buy a cycle trailer so we can take Sebastian with us when he is a little older (if his Mama will let us pinch him!!) and played, yes, played on a play area outside the gorgeous Bridge House Farm Tearoom (after we had enjoyed cake and coffee!)

 
 

Hope you had a fun Sunday!
Nothing better than fun and laughter - 
good for the soul!

I Capture The Castle #TheYearInBooks

Wow. I'm doing not bad on the reading front. 
Certainly joining with Laura and her Year in Books has got me back into reading. 
Very grateful!

So my last book was not what I thought at all!! I think I thought it was this! LOL!
My choice - Destinations turned out to be a selection of short stories. 
Perfect for getting back into reading!

So this morning I perused my messy bookcase.......
& chose I Capture The Castle by Dodie Smith, which I have been meaning to read for a long time!
Preferably whilst lounging in bed!

Hopefully I will finish before the end of the month this time!

What are you currently reading?
Why not join in with Laura?

Today I Ran

I don't know how far. I don't know how fast.
& that doesn't bother me.
It's about how I feel, sinking in my surroundings.
What I do know is it was at a good pace and non stop for an hour and twenty minutes.

These days I run for fun. I love it - & so does the pup!
With the wind in my hair, the sound of the waves on the reservoir and the smell of pine trees in my nose ;-) It's wonderful!

A couple of weeks ago I did my first fell race - I still haven't checked my time. It was 5 miles, 2.5 uphill. For me it was about running it without stopping, getting up there and getting down. It's a challenge I set myself in January. & I did it! & I will be doing more.....

Not me today - this was taken after my first ever fell race. Mud up to my knees, still smiling, looking like a pixie!!

When I started running it was because I knew I needed to do some cardio vascular exercise. 
I never thought I would grow to love it!

Great to be outside in this lovely spring weather!
Hope you've had a good weekend & got outside.
