One week to go til the RuntotheBeat Half Marathon, and it's still "all systems go" for us both. Yesterday we completed a 20km run, which went very well. A couple of laps of Gunnersbury Park, amongst the trees, shrubs, squirrels along with every man (person) and their dog -literally!
So if you haven't considered a bit of sponsorship for both of us, then please feel free by either using the link at the right of this webpage, or click here: http://www.justgiving.com/Simon-Welfare to donate.
The remains of that day was spent at the Swann Hotel across the road from Hyde Park catching up with some of Sheryl's friends from Sydney. A good way to finish off the weekend, which began Friday night (as it usually does). We headed up to Chorleywood to Row n Mark's
for a night at a nearby pub called The Cock Inn. And yes, you read that correctly.
This Inn is a couple of hundred years old and you can see that once inside with the old wood beams holding up the thatched roof. We were there for a Game Night, which over here doesn't include Monopoly, but Wild Boar, Pheasant, Rabbit and the like. The main meal was a partridge in a pidgeon in a pheasant. The local [family] brewer was there, so each course came with the recommended ale and its accompanying tale...
The previous weekend had a similar Sunday with a great afternoon in our local beer garden (below) with Bec and Sanj, which was a great way to spend a day after the Saturday night. We'd spent it at Wembley Stadium to see the band, Muse. Of the two support acts that we did see, White Lies and Biffy Clyro, we were pleasantly surprised. Biffy Clyro were really good, and if they head to your area, then definitely go see them. As for Muse, they were awesome too. The best show I've seen at Wembley yet, and that includes U2...
