What a week!

Last Sunday Mr J & Mr J the Younger, sister & BiL did 'Jane's Run' -The Leeds 10K, started by & in memory of the wonderful Jane Tomlinson. 12,000 runners took to the streets of Leeds. Mr J was running for Jane's Appeal & Mr J the Younger for Martin House Children's Hospice in Boston Spa. Not that they are competitive or anything but they came in 207 & 209! Mr J was 17th in his 'age group' (over 50's!). Their time was around 47 minutes. They are the two in bright blue shirts. The winner (an Ethiopian Olympic hopeful) did it in 30 minutes!!!!! It was a fantastic morning, quite emotional & I have committed to taking part next year!!!!!!! Yes, you read it here. No backing out allowed!

Last week our village church had its 125th birthday celebration. As part of it there was a 'scarecrow' competition. The theme was 'Gates' or 'Yates'. The village is called Burnt Yates & is believed to have got its name from the burning of the toll gate. There were some great entries!

Tomorrow is Woolfest!!!!! Mr J & Moss are going for a hill walk & I am going to be let loose at Woolfest. My first real fibre festival! I am quite excited!!!!!! I am particularly looking for gorgeous dk/ worsted weight yarn, something from 'The Yarn Yard', possibly some lace weight & a pretty spindle! I have run-off the catalogue, highlighted 'musts', & printed a couple of 'find me on Ravelry...' badges! Mr J & Moss have packed maps, compass, waterproofs! I will report on Sunday!
