After a week of running, spinning, swimming, cleaning, cooking and baking.

We needed a rest 🙂

So we escaped to Nottingham for the weekend to stay with Steve and Ren

Geoff had planned a lovely little walk for me, which I was so looking forward too.

Ren decided she would like to come with us too 🙂

So on Sunday we headed off to Clumber park.

Where we did a circular 19 mile walk taking us through the Welbeck estate and Creswell Crags.

It was a glorious day and we also managed to meet up with Geoff’s brother and sister in law, who walked round Creswell Crags with us.

Ren who is not a regular walker did so well to walk 19 miles with out one moan or blister 🙂

As for Steve well he has been setting me a few challenges on the wi-fit and all I can say to him is watch out when I get home 🙂

Some time ago, well 36 days ago to be precise, Micheal and Laura recommended a great looking tea shop in Nottingham.

Since then I have been desperate to go and try it out.

On the first attempt it took us too long to find and was closed.

Second attempt the queue was far too long.

Third attempt there was still a small queue but I persuaded Geoff to wait.

Pleased to say I was not disappointed, My Assam tea was perfect, served in beautiful china cups and tea pot.

Far to many delicious cakes to choose from but I went for the battenburg and was not disappointed.

It was a real treat and The Walk cafe is a  must place to visit if your ever in Nottingham.

Many many years ago in another life.

I went to Spinning classes twice a week.

Then life moves on and things change.

Recently I was treated to a membership to Greens health and fitness club 

I noticed they do spinning classes and have just been waiting for the chance to try one out.

That opportunity came today.

The bikes have improved and it was done in the dark with disco lights.

The music was great and it was as fast and fun as I remembered.

The good news is they do a class on a Saturday morning too 🙂

Have an Indian Head massage.

Its a truly divine Treatment.

Look here for details 

If your a Lady jogger apart from your shoes the next most important bit of gear is….

A very good sports bra.

I knew I needed a new one but kept putting off buying one.

The last thing I want is sagging breasts

So finally at the weekend I decided I had to get one.

I was shocked at the price …£32 and would much rather have spent the money on a nice pink sexy girlie one 🙂

But I know the importance of having a good jogging bra.

A treat today 🙂

A longer walk than usual along the river from Cambridge to Ely.

Brilliant sunshine all way too 🙂

As its Mother’s day Geoff then treated me to tea and scones at the lovely Peacock tea rooms.

Watch out Andrew and Matthew he will be down to collect the money soon 🙂

We returned to Cambridge by train followed by the 2 mile walk back to Chesterton.

So 18 miles covered in total.

We finished the day off with a relaxing swim and steam followed by a much needed and enjoyed Indian meal.

Tomorrow I return home to collect my mother day treats from my boys, who both sent me lovely text messages today 🙂
