Spotted Flycatcher

So good to see these lovely birds back and breeding locally again. They were absent for a couple of years from this site, so glad they have returned. They are very active with lots of food going to the nest site. Lets hope they breed successfully and return next year.

Race for Life 2011

Still running after 10k, but with the finishing line in sight........

Lucy ran the Race for Life 2011 last Saturday in Leeds, along with 3000 other ladies, to help raise money for Cancer Research.  She ran 10k in 1 hour 4 seconds. I was so proud. It was a very emotional day for everyone there and there wasn't a dry eye in sight! Well done chuck x
The weekend also involved a night in Leeds with a visit to the theatre to see The Sound of Music, a fantastic show! A lovely girly weekend and all for a very worthwhile cause.
