Well, the day of the big exam that I had crammed so hard for and dreaded arrived at long last and I was still coughing away like a 40 a day girl and so sadly had to leave the rest of the family to bring home the honours. More of that in a minute...
Photos...a get together at Dalchenna with bonfire,Beer (well, wine in my case)and Burgers. it was great to have a chat and a bevy. A novel way was discovered to toast several marshmallows at once to keep up with demand and Garret proved that men can multi task by carrying on a conversation with his drink and burning his bottom at the same time. And can anyone find a more spooky tree than that!! Very Sleepy Hollowesque. The next day came far too soon for Garret and he duly competed in a very warm and windy (sand in yer face on the beach bit!) finishing in one piece in 1hr and 49 minutes. The children did really well too with Rosie getting round 2k with great style and overtaking 6 or 7 11-14yr olds on the last lap. Toby and another boy battled it out in a very exciting finish for first place with the other chap making it by a hairs breadth. Freya also took a prize as second girl home,3 or 4th overall in her packed 1k race. So it was just me that let the side down and of course I am feeling much better today...Psychosomatic or what!! We stopped briefly on the way home at Westport Beach for Garret to soak his blisters....
