Left to right, no explanation needed. Photo 2 Deals1 one of your glorious poppies you sent to me in France on the War Memorial in Fivemiletown, honouring my Great Uncle Sam, thank you Deals these poppies are very special πŸ₯° my great grandparents house in the same town. That house, 60 mumble years later reminds me of an old lady - me aged about 5 (great grandma in black) sitting and looking up a huge chimney, looking up all the way to the sky, kettle heating up in the hearth and me being convinced she must be a witch πŸ˜… then hearing a cousin used to get a half a crown from her each time he went for a visit (Oh to be so lucky) and all I got was a crappy biscuit, which promptly got buried in the chicken feed outside shhhhh! Next photo: The non running action after Boston Parkrun, tokens being collated and in the corner out of view the chap with the computer posting the results and lastly Bramall Hall which we went to today. What a taonga, which is Maori for treasure, Gorgeous! For now I’m going to enjoy what little time we have left here in the UK and Wilmslow parkrun I know I will jeff some of it, but for those of you fortunate to live and run in this beautiful country and for those of us who don’t live here but still get to be part of it. Arohanui ❀️

Ps Bluebirdrunner and Mr Bbr hope to welcome you in some part of your NZ travels.

Pps Have to announce it here if I’m lucky enough to be still around and running in October 2020, count me in Irishjohn.

Lovely post Lexi...such a nostalgic time for you...and fun too! (Irish vodkaπŸ˜‰)

I hope you have a great Parkrun at Wilmslow and that the remaining time of your holiday is brilliant too.

Yet to begin the NZ planning, a certain 10k race is filling my head at the moment, but I will be on it soon!πŸ˜†πŸ˜‰

Happy running and holiday fun!😊xxx

Can’t wait to meet you and UTS too. Mr Lexi will be there he’s the official photographer! With Wilmslow being only my 4th run in 7 weeks, jeffing will be the only way I’ll get up them. πŸ˜€

What a wonderful time you’re having Lexi - great photos and lovely descriptions! Thank you! 😍

Have a wonderful PR this weekend. So sad I can’t meet you (this time!), especially as you were so close at one point, we discovered after the event! 😩

Enjoy your weekend! ❀️
