Mud at zero wetness

After a couple of weeks of sweet sunshine, I heard that the weather is about to break, so I capitalised on a quiet morning by getting out for a run.  I left the house about 6.45am, just after the sun came up and took the old default route out to the Royal Oak, Wivelsfield, through [...]

Good for the sole

We have had family staying across the weekend, so I was grateful that they insisted I tootle off and do my Sunday run… while they sat in the garden!

And my, what a  b e a u t i f u l  day to do it!

Wind in the hind quarter

The great French getaway!

The general idea was for Kim [...]
