After a particularly bad nights sleep we waited to hear if the Great North Run was going ahead this weekend. It is ! so my partner can complete the challenge he set himself , with all those months of training and raising over £700 for the mental health charity MIND.
The death of HM Queen Elizabeth fills the news. A difficult time for our new King , grieving for his mother and having to immediately take on such responsibilities.
I decided to cancel all my classes until after the state funeral. Probably all the upsets of this year have caught up with me. This feels such a sad time, that I need time to rest and recharge my batteries , rather than push on which I often do .
I spotted these squashes growing in a neighbouring allotment. I don’t know what they are called , but I thought they were pretty.
