Back at home for the fourth week of summer and with the opening of David Lloyd, back to tennis, the treadmill and swimming. A good 5km run prior to my tennis lesson on Monday, holding a steady 13kph. After the run, it was time for my tennis lesson. My back hand seemed pretty good and … Continue reading

It’s Summer – Day 23
Back home now after a great 6 nights over in Malvern. The hills were spectacular and getting up North Hill a highlight of the week. It was also great to do a few walks and visit Upton upon Severn. Packing up the camper van this morning was simple enough, even with an awning. A lazy … Continue reading
It’s Summer – Day 21
When you gaze up to see the stars, you can get lost in the marvel that is space. Doing so is something I’ve always enjoyed, from the army childhood of camping out at the weekend and lying comfy in a sleeping bag and watching the stars above. We used to look for satellites. Tonight as … Continue reading
It’s Summer – Day 20
It’s the 20th day of the summer holidays and tonight I saw the greatest shooting star that I’ve ever seen before. This morning I went for a run which took me across some farmers’ fields and something of about 6 km. It was so very hot but a beautiful run. The Malvern Hills looked great … Continue reading
It’s Summer – Day 19
About halfway through the break in Malvern and we’ve covered some distance and gained height as we have gone. A break is good and the thinking that goes with it, dangerous. Woke up today to another warm and sunny environment. It’s been quite nice, the lazy start to the day but not setting off till … Continue reading
It’s Summer – Day 18
It has been a great day here in Malvern. We’ve cycled quite a lot and it’s been great to see Dan playing with lots of friends on the campsite – these are new friends and hopefully socially distancing. We set off on what we planned to be about a 15 km bike ride and hopefully … Continue reading
It’s Summer – Day 17
It’s the start of week three of the break and I’m back in the campervan having travelled down to Great Malvern for some exploration on the bikes and by foot. As we approached, Dan and Kate weren’t too keen by all accounts to go riding up Malvern Hills – not sure why not. Dan has … Continue reading
It’s Summer – Day 15 and 16
Two weeks of the break are now over and we head towards the third. The last day of Premier League football is complete and Villa survive. The last two days have been fairly uneventful. We’ve been to tennis as David Lloyd’s and ran 5km. 23 minutes was the time which is not too bad, but … Continue reading
It’s Summer – Day 14
For those of us that live in Leicester, two weeks of the Sumer holidays have now gone. For those in some areas of the country, the summer holidays begin now. If you do live in a place where today was the last day of school, I congratulate you for your resilience in these difficult times … Continue reading
It’s Summer – Days 8 and 9
It was obviously a weekend of entertainment with two days rolling into one. Up early on the Saturday to take Dan to football training (and help out as Iain’s #2 for the day – Chris was working). Socially distancing the team in the practices is pretty easy now – a good bunch of lads who … Continue reading
