Hectic !

Life has been pretty hectic since I came home from Les Gets, not that I am complaining, as I like it this way 🙂

I started back to work with a 10 hour shift, have seen many lovely massage clients, biked over 100 miles and ran 11 miles…

Something new is a 7am Yoga fitness class at the Fitness studios Kings Lynn, which I am hoping will improve my flexibility just a little but mainly stretch me, in many ways, especially as its on a

Tuesday morning after a midnight shift at Tesco on the Monday.

I took the plunge and went for my bike fit, which resulted in my seat being put up a foot, well not quite but it feels that way, most importantly though I have progressed to clip in pedals, which I am told will make a huge difference, so watch this space …

We had another British Cycling Go-Ride ladies only training session, which was really fun and enjoyable so I have booked in for the next 2 sessions as well.

This weekend Its off to Cambridge to say hello and goodbye to Geoff who is just home long enough for a massage and a hair cut before he’s off on his travels to Vietnam

Next weekend a walking friend is coming to stay and we are having a walking weekend at Castle Acre with the Cambridge Rambling Club.

Then a biking day In Norwich with another friend is on the cards and the big one is the Wiggle No Excuses Sportive on March 1st followed by the LDWA Daffodil Dawdle on March 30th A fab way to spend Mothers day 🙂

If I am not knackered after all that there are plenty more plans…………..

Skiing in Les Gets

I have been very lucky to have a weeks skiing in Les Gets every January since 2007.

Les GetsThe first year I went I could barely stand up on ski’s, so it still amazes me that I mastered the art of skiing especially as it scares me to death !!

The big debate this year was wether I would wear a helmet and just to please everyone and stop the nagging I did wear one !!  

Unlike other years I had no bright sunny days,so the light was very flat which I found difficult to get used too but I enjoyed the blue and red runs and came home with no broken bones 🙂

After a week’s skiing I always come home thinking if I can ski then I can do anything !!!

An early season…

Every year I enjoy making Geoff his supply of Marmalade for the year.

IMG_1157This year I thought it was going to be a struggle, because between now and April 8th Geoff will only be in Cambridge for 1 day and the last thing I wanted to be doing on that day was making Marmalade.

Lucky for me or maybe lucky for Geoff, Seville Oranges are having a very early season, as we found out when we accidentally came across some in the Radmore Farm Shop.

So on Monday I spent a very happy 5 hours making 28 Jars of Marmalade.

It tastes so good that I may attempt to make another batch, later in the month, here at home on my electric hob, which should be very interesting…..
