The 'New' Me .....

Just had a trip to Cornwall and come back feeling like a new woman!!!

~

 

This is the 'new' me, courtesy of my 5 year old grand-daughter!

It is a very good likeness!!

I am still 'foreveryoung' though - even if my joints don't think so!

~

I stayed at my sister's

and her visiting stray cat tried to get in to visit me too.

~ 

I wouldn't let him in though!

You can guess what he was saying to me.

~ 

 

He was a lovely tabby though, called Tim

and would sit on your lap at every given opportunity -

usually when you were having a quiet cup of tea.

Then he stuck his claws in, because he wasn't getting enough attention!

~

Had a lovely week visiting family and friends.

Must catch up on all your blogging news now.

Ironman Wales today ..... A big athletic event in Tenby

A few pics from the Ironman Wales Triathlon taking place in Tenby today.

I got up at 5.30 in order to watch the swim section of the event.

~

Athletes pouring down the road to the North Beach start

~ 

 After a heavy shower had passed over, the sun began to rise on a calm sea.

~

7.00 am - 1800 + entrants rush in to the sea for their 2.5 mile swim

~ 

St John were on hand to give help where needed.

~

Swimmers arriving at the end of the first circuit of the swim course.

~ 

A rather disinterested spectator - but he was wearing an Ironman T-shirt!

~ 

Swimmers are much more spread out as they come to the end of their 2.5 miles!

~ 

He is pleased to have finished the swim -

but now has a 112 mile cycle ride -

and then a 26.2 marathon run!!

~

Cut off time for last athlete home is midnight tonight.

The locals will still be at the finish to cheer the last man/woman in whatever time it is!

~

Is it a bird? .....

Is it a bird?

Is it a snowman? 

~

Is it a mushroom?

~

We have so many apples on our trees

that they are bending to the ground with the weight.
