Its all go well almost


Blimey I think we had at least what ten minutes rain this evening, got to write that down.

Been an odd day really I had to open my wallet and buy some more kit for work should be able to do a few more jobs now in peoples gardens.

Then there is little brother, Robin the wanderer, he is now in Scotland ready to start his 1000 mile cycle ride tomorrow morning. Been hard to get the local press to pick this up but there are a couple of Marie Curie ladies in Scotland who have been pushing hard, got him some warm showers some nights and evening meals. We will see how it goes. Robin had his picture taken today, thats it at the top, with a local patron of Marie Curie in Scotland Dame Barbara Kelly. So there is no backing out now for him especially as the sponsorship money is slowly going up. Have you sponsored him yet????

Little Brother and his Ideas

Little brother has this idea which has now got a life of its own as they do.

He is going to cycle 1000 miles around Scotland from the end of July to late August, 65 miles a day or thereabouts carrying all his food etc not a backup vehcle in sight.

He does this, a couple of years ago it was canoe across England from the Mersey to Lowestoft, again its going to be to raise money. This time for Marie Curie, one of their nurses stayed by our Dad last year after he came home from hospital until he died from cancer where he wanted to go, at home with mum.

So its getting him set up with Just Giving etc now so hopefully folks can make a donation if they wish.
