I managed to drag myself out early this morning for a run before work. It was nice and cool for a change while still bright and clear.

Despite the break since my last post, I have been running. On a short break in Cornwall I did a couple of 6 mile runs along the coast. I love running enjoying the sound of the sea and Bude was a beautiful town to spend a week. We’re in another heatwave so I got out…

This was a rare evening run that I just managed to get in before it got dark. I saw a group of runners heading up the hill towards Castell Coch. I wondered if it was the White Rock Runners, as I know that’s where they do their hill rep sessions. I pootled around the forest,…

The colourful wrap has been removed from Castell Coch! I went up for a walk this morning and actually saw the removal. I grabbed this photo on my run after waiting for some visitors to move out of frame. There were lots of people enjoying picnics in the grounds.
