The Sporting Life

I'm loving this summer of Sport. I was never particularly into cricket I always found it quite boring but my youngest son has taken up the Sport and on Friday night I supported him as his under 10 team won their first match. It wasn't tough supporting him as I read the newspaper with a cold beer on a sunny evening. Then there's the world cup, what a feast of football. OK some of the games haven't been great but our church fantasy football league has added extra spice. It's not just the England matches that count but every match because of the points potential. We're seeing a high degree of competition and I'm quite pleased that my team is holding its own. For further world cup tips check out my eldest son's first attempts at podcasting here.

Challenge Over...


We did it! It took 17 and a half hours from the top of the first mountain to the top of the 15th, it was a fantastic day and we saw an incredible sunrise over the mountains. By sunset we didn't care what it looked like! Photos linked at the side. Feet and muscles are nearly recovered and we're now talking about doing it again next year...
