    Not sure yet. Now with Northumberland FR and waiting for the club championship races to be announced. But... rescheduled Simonside Cairns in a fortnight, High Cup Nick - (Feb) definite, Anni Waltz (Apr) for sure, Edinburgh Marathon (May) entered, Chevy Chase (July) Borrowdale (Aug) always, Ben Nevis (Sept) application next week, if I'm lucky again. Hopefully some more Lakes Classics. You may enjoy a Northumberland race or two. Cheviot Summit for example. I'd also like to have a pop at some of the North Yorkshire races.

    Sorry poets - that may look like a PM, but it is in fact a highly specialised and disciplined form of poetry. The Whippeterian Pentaquadrangle Couplet.

    How embarassing! I'm not that clever.

    This made me laugh out loud; thank you!

    Our tree really was special, it was bought under special circumstances at a bargain price. It really didn't lose a needle and was just perfect. Happy memories to cherish :closed:
