The Gresford show is over and done with for another year but it was well worth the joyous effort. Next week I will be able to say what moneys we have raised for charity but, in the meantime, here’s an over-view for you to enjoy. There was a special display of Christmas work and the theme for the challenge this year was ‘In the Air’. Enjoy!

And finally, my daughter persuaded a group of us from her fitness classes to take part in the ‘Pretty Muddy’ 5km charity run on Saturday at Tatton Park. ‘Run’ was interpreted very loosely, we walked most of it, but when someone saw spectators the cry would go up ’public’ and we would all jog athletically until we had gone passed them! We obviously didn’t want to peak too soon! I can’t tell you how much fun it was to be squirted constantly with water, to roll, slip and scrabble in mud, to bounce on space hoppers and to finally slide into a huge pool of mud! Here are the before and after pics!
