Happy Father’s Day

Posted on June 21, 2020 by denhamkite • Leave a comment

The most vivid image of today for me was my son, looking half asleep coming into my room this morning, light turned on and telling me to wake up as it’s Father’s Day and he has presents to give me. It’s genuinely great and well appreciated, especially as he was still half asleep but at … Continue reading →

A Day of Football

Posted on June 20, 2020 by denhamkite • Leave a comment

Started the day with grassroots football. Always a please to help and we had the keeper diving and some great shots and free kicks. The plan later was all around the premier league and watching Leicester and all who come after. Training with the U11 was the first thing of the day and it was … Continue reading →

Back to Training and the Boy Who Bakes

Posted on June 14, 2020 by denhamkite • 1 Comment

Saturday morning was a step to something of normality with the gradual easing of the lockdown allowing football training, as long as no more than six are in a group (including the coach). I was going to go for a run whilst the boys trained but the possibility of eleven boys meant a call to … Continue reading →

Well done America and NASA for the successful launch of the Eagle – positive news and uplifting in a time of much negativity, hardship for many and future unknowns. It has been another glorious day which does however mean I need to water the plants in the garden. That’s where I will be once I … Continue reading →

Wet, Windy and Wonderful

A day of next to no work. A day to have a walk, watch an old film. A day to recuperate. But for the past couple of months, well covid19, we’d have been en-route to St. Ives today and by now, there, pitched and overlooking the bay. Instead, here we are still in Leicester having … Continue reading →

Stay Alert- Some Don’t Understand 2m

Posted on May 16, 2020 by denhamkite • 1 Comment

It is the weekend and the sun has been out some of the time. As we consider the various ways of welcoming children back at school – because social distancing in primaries is not so simple – it is hugely annoying that several pairs of people on a mid-day walk in lots of space can’t … Continue reading →

Campervan Life Begins

Posted on February 19, 2020 by denhamkite • Leave a comment

It’s been a couple of years in the planning – buying a campervan to set off and enjoy the endless walks and cycling. A bit of surfing and swanning off abroad when we can. It’s my third trip away – the first being a one night jaunt to Shropshire where Chris decides we tackle the … Continue reading →
