Late October 2025 - Timperley, Wythenshawe parkrun #637 and a family meal

Just near the centre of Timperley there's a nice avenue of trees beside Park Road. The autumn colours are striking if you can catch the area when the sun is out. Sadly, the picture above is the best I could manage this time around, since when more leaves have fallen.

Saturday morning brought showers and sunshine at Wythenshawe Park, where I managed a snap through the fence of the hall in bright sunlight.

Some 342 folk participated in parkrun #637, including a few legends - Maggi, Graham and Jeanette in the pictures below.

They were closely followed by Ralph and Nobby, making a rare but most welcome appearance.

However, the star of  the show was Jan, who was running at a parkrun for the 500th time, the majority being here at Wythenshawe, as well as over 50 volunteering appearances. He's pictured here with Ron and Nobby, who together with Lisa and many more came along in support of Jan and the several trays of cupcakes he brought with him with which to celebrate. Thank you Jan.

Full results are here.

A long awaited family lunch took place in Timperley on Sunday, with Mike arriving later due to a performance with Hootin' Annies Big Band, where he's the resident guitarist.

One of the youngsters wolfed down her food before trying on her new hat...

I think she was attending in her 'Princess Mischief  role, egged on by her older cousins.

What a lovely afternoon.
