Crantock in Cornwall for half term


Crantock, originally uploaded by Phil Haygarth.

Just home from a lovely week with the families Bell, Bol and Chadwick for our annual excursion to Cornwall. This year we had a new house and new village, a refreshing change, lots of fun with a pool table (great tournament!), lovely view, choice of two pubs, sand dunes. The week was extremely chilled, punctuated by Valentines day ( we fellas cooked a great salmon, even though i say so myself...), Roland's 50th birthday including some ice skating and a trip to the Eden Project , and some great walks. Polly also benefitted from some mentoring from Aunty Tess, the 5 yo black lab. Happy days....

Hitting the North

Yesterday I braved the ice and snow to join brother Dave and Richard Hannaford in the outskirts of Manchester for a classic off road bike event. Thanks to @SportSunday for the photo. A great end to the cyclo-cross season, - having started with a broken leg and ended approx half way down the field. Results here. http://www.hitthenorth.net/news/results-2/
