Apologies for the delay in updating this site – I know that you have all been waiting with bated breath for the latest instalment! Time has flown – Ellen is now 6 months old and utterly gorgeous, and is watching me from her favourite playmat as I type this. She’s reminding me of the running that has taken place in the intervening period and her memory’s not that good yet (and most of the suggestions revolve around milk and nappy changes) so excuse the brevity of the following “monthly updates”.

Having last added to this blog in October, I’ll skip November altogether partly because the month flew past but mostly because I can’t remember anything done in it; most of my memories also consist of making milk and changing nappies at that time!*

December  saw the inaugural Santa Dash taking place in Yeovil Country Park, which saw 100 runners charging about all dressed as Father Christmas – apart from Lynda who was a very attractive Mother Christmas and Ellen stole the show as the cutest baby Santa! It was a successful event and has raised nearly £2,000 for the Hospice, and so one to repeat.

There was snow at Christmas which made for interesting running – the Santas were out in force again, this time for the annual Phil MacQuaid Christmas Day run, and the fantastic champers and canapes put on by the Brammers; I struggled up the lane from Thorne Coffin but it had nothing to do with the ice! There was a good family walk around Bradford Abbas with the re-emergence of Steve Pattemore – and before you know it, that was 2010 done and dusted!

* This is only wet nappies; I only did my first poo nappy in March, and was actually sick!
