Saturday 20 November 2021 - A Birthday, a parkrun, and Christmas in Hinckley

After being treated to breakfast in bed by the two Js, Kate realised she had woken to the aura of a Special Day.

A rather large cake later confirmed the fact.

Happy Birthday, Kate, we look forward to a celebratory meal next week.

A bit later, it was parkrun time. Jacob ran another good time in Burnley, whilst a bit further south in Litchfield, Sue and I met up with Mick and Gayle at Beacon Park.


It was a scenic two laps in the city park on a good surface. Here are the volunteer scanners near the finish.


The park is full of interest!


Here's Gayle at the finish. She's ankle injured from a recent pothole incident on a flooded path, so is walking parkruns in about 40 minutes just now. I walked with her for the first lap then tried running the second lap. My poorly heel/foot just about stood up to that and I finished in under 34 minutes. Excellent.


Meanwhile, Sue and Mick had chatted their way round in under 27 minutes. An easy jog for them.



After tea/coffee in Erica (M&G's smaller campervan), Sue and I made our way to Sue's family's pre-Christmas party. It was very jolly and we came away with some lovely presents. Unluckily for others, we haven't yet turned our minds to Christmas in any way other than this. It seems to be creeping up on us.
