Hello regular readers! You will have noticed all my previous blogs have disappeared-sadly a technical hitch and they have disappeared into the blogsphere where ever that may be! There are two ways at looking at this! All those lost blogs, the stories, the gigs, my old school, bird watching moments and of course all the rubbish I have written about the mighty Hatters can be viewed as a disappointment. The other way of looking at it is you may not notice if I write the same stuff again!
I will talk about our wonderful day yesterday and will later update recent events. I may be blogging regularly over the next few days to play some sort of catch up with those events.
Yesterday Clare and I went to watch our Peter and Nicola running in the London Marathon. It was a long day driving up and parking near Mortlake Station. Getting across London to find the race and a viewing spot. We based ourselves in Westferry Road close to mile 16-we must of watched thousands go past including various Super Heroes, Rhinos, Wombles, mr Men etc until we saw them! We then caught them again close to mile 18 to bellow our support. Mobiles are very useful for keeping in touch with runners and their progress so we were able to see them by the Monument (mile 23) and finally by the Embankment close to the end. Very proud parents and impressed by the whole experience the event, the ease of transport and the whole feel good factor. Nicola has raised over £3000 for NSPCC-brilliant!
