Hello there.... feels like ages since I posted anything. You must all be having withdrawal symptoms....!!! What have they been up to? How many miles has Kelly run? Has Craig had any 'cheeky' surfs? Well, your prayers have been answered. We're back.

Like Dad, the weather has just been too good to write anything on the blog. It's been about 24degrees every day for at least a week. Which is something of a miracle. We've been out every day trying to make the most of it. My body is as 'broon as a berry' as Craig says, but I still look like an 'emo' from the neck up. Craig has a rather fetching 'Freddy Mercury' style tan on this back. He wore a rucksack cycling the other day and the tan line looks like he's been wearing a tight, nipped in sleeveless vest! Everytime I see it, I think of: 'I want to break free..!' and that video where FM's dressed as a woman doing the housework. Ha, Ha.

Well, as you would guess, I've been trying to run as much as possible before the 21st. On Friday I met a chum on my lunch hour to try and get in a few extra miles. And we ended up going for a run on the weirdest landscape ever. She lives in the 'Clay Hills country' part of Cornwall. (We passed some of the mounds of waste from the clay works on the way to the Eden Project). From the road you can see massive white hills of debris, some of which grass has grown on. On Friday lunch, Bof took me for a 5mile jaunt inside the Imerys area and through all the big white hills. It was so weird! In the blazing sunshine it was dazzling. It felt like we were running on the moon.... but very hot. All you could see around you were massive white hills and the dust you made from running through them. I've been desperately trying to think of a good metaphor to describe what is was like- so I could get mummy's prize for 'most poetic blog', (she gives them you know... what you've not had them...?! Ha, Ha!). But I've failed. I'll have to resort to a Doctor Who reference instead.....'I was half expecting a Dalek to appear around one of those white hills....!'

On Saturday, Craig and I decided to cycle from coast to coast in Cornwall (it sounds more impressively challenging than it is!). From where we live you can cycle to the other coast in a couple of hours, its only about 11/12 miles. The pictures are of some of the mining relics that we passed along the way. I think we might do that trail with Dawn and Jordan when they are down- but just one way.

Today, all but 2 of my patients cancelled so I spent most of the day on the beach (where I assume most of they were too..!!). The other picture is of Mullion and Polurrian Coves. A ten minute run from the Surgery I work at. I managed to jump really high to get that shot.... what do you think..?!!! Or, google images is fairly handy. I sat and ate my sandwiches on the sand which was very nice.

Long may the good weather continue... although I don't believe it will!!

Hope you are all bathed in glorious sunshine too!

Kelly :)
