Weekend walking

We're still trying to get fit for the coast to coast walk this summer. This weekend we went for a Walk around our local reservoir - not a long walk, but our aim was to walk steadily, at a faster pace than usual. We did 7 miles in two hours which is what we were aiming for, then sauntered the last little bit back to the car (and adjacent tea shop).

Easter Fun, Part 2

I know, Easter was a couple of weeks ago, but I'm still catching up!

After the visit of the littlies, Catriona and Ian came over to spend Easter with us. We exchanged chocolate, ate roast lamb and a very nice ginger parfait, and played lots of board games. We also managed a quick trip to Burghley House for a wander round the scuplture garden. Apart from a few hail showers, it was beautiful spring weather and I played with the camera again:

Easter Fun, part 1

Fun things to do when you visit Uncle Tim and Auntie Elspeth:



1. Run straight through the dining room and on through the kitchen, then back again, and again, and again - there are no stairs in the way like at home!



2. Slide down the staircase on your bottom or tummy



3. Help Elspeth make Hot Cross Buns



4. Help Tim play his tuba:

A little bit of culture

Just a selection of the music in our house at the moment - this all belogs to me, but Tim is also busy practising for the Area contest coming up in couple of weeks time. Today I am off to Woburn Church to sing in a concert with Acoustic Triangle, a jazz trio. Then next weekend I'm performing in the Messiah in Bedford - three local chamber choirs are joining together to perform it. At the same time Tim will be competing in the areas, playing a piece called 'Dark Side of the Moon', described as the 'marmite of band test pieces'!
