That's Lindum over again for another year....apart from getting all the prints out.

Phew, today was a real scorcher down at the racecourse in Market Rasen. I think I may be a little sore tomorrow as the skin on my nose is tightening up from the sunburn I managed to achieve while photographing the entrants in 'The Handy Pony' ring.

It has to be said, that for us it's a really long and tiring 4 or 5 days and generally at the end of it we are working on zombie mode-autopilot.

Thank you to all of you for smiling as you went by us during our four days of photography and a big thank you to Liz Worthy for buying our canvas voucher in aid of this years charity, Macmillan Cancer Research. Thanks also go to anyone that gave a donation to the charity so they could take away our past sponsors logo pictures, that were so splendidly displayed in The Brocklesby Suite

We will endeavour to get the Handy pony, Dog show, Winners parade and Horsey fancy dress photos on our website as soon as possible. All ride photos will be sent out in the post as usual. However, they wont be going out for a couple of weeks as it is a real mammoth task sorting through, editing, printing, databasing and posting these, that it takes that long usually. Oh, and it's school holidays!

We will keep you all posted via this blog

Isabels Last day St. Josephs

Well what a day today has been.....Kleenex Tissue dept. must have made a small fortune in Harrogate.
I cannot say enough what a wonderful school St Joe's is and how very lucky we have been to be able to send Isabel here for the last seven years.
Our warmest thanks go to all the staff, but especially to Jayne Ward who has nurtured the class for the last two years. Thanks Mrs Ward !!!! We will miss you.

Back to work tomorrow at The Lindum Spirit Festival of Endurance at Market Rasen Racecourse. It's an early start for us....about 5.30am.

If you are at Lindum, see you on course....don't forget to smile as you ride past us.

Day 1 - Lindum Spirit (Wednesday)

Arrived Wednesday afternoon to be greeted by a parade of walking wounded (Thay,Jane C & Lesley Owens). They say trouble comes in three's, so let's hope that's the end of it!

Having chosen our spot we set up camp. Luckily, the rain showers which had been forecast did not materialise but it was a little overcast at times.

We eagerly awaited the appearance of the first riders. As they passed, they showed off the new bright orange bibs bearing the name of Lindum's new main sponsors Equillibrium. It was a good turn out and we hope everyone enjoyed their evening ride. We hope the runners from the Run & Ride class don't suffer too much tomorrow.

On the way back to the venue we stopped to watch a barn owl quartering a field, I never tire of watching these beautiful birds.

The presentations went well and then we made our way back to Harrogate with the anticipation of watching our daughter Isabel and classmates doing their Year Six Leavers Assembly tomorrow. We're really sorry we can't be with you all tomorrow but I know you'll understand. Thanks go to Peter for stepping in. Hope you all have a fun day.

See you all bright and early Friday.
