Me and the kids went for a play in the woods. The plan was to cook some bannock on a fire. Bex did the chopping, Jen did the gatering...and dad didn't quite get the fire going...woops
Had a great 40th Birthday hiking around Dovedale. Got out of the valley bottom for the first time and explored the surrounding countryside a bit. Was amazed by the views (this one is looking towards a hill called Thorpe Cloud - what a great name for a hill!). Wandered from Milldale over to Ilam...very relaxed exploring - with plenty of stoppes for cups of tea - well I am forty now.
Went for our first sail at Cambridge Sailing Club...it was interesting being on such a narrow body of water, with the wind vearing through 180 degrees! After safely returning to land, another member kindly let us have a go in one of his canoes.
It was hot, but the girls did well, getting round the 5km course in about 48 minutes. Thanks for all the sponsorship, over £100 is going to Cancer Research.
Forty something and spending a large part of my time between where I have to be (work) and were I want to be (home). Like hanging out in the woods with my GWP Tiney.
