A rainy Bank Holiday and we went to Coughton Court for a walk and afternoon "coffee and cake". This wooden grandfather clock was in the Bluebell Woods. Having found this we set off around the woods, following a path that just stopped and meant that we ended up tramping through the undergrowth until we found it again! Wasn't exactly the rainforest but still amusing.

Coffee and cake was rather delicious, and I was complimented on my hair plaiting skills by a random stranger!

I've finally found some whimsical ducks for the bath. And I do know, as kindly pointed out by my son,  that they're supposed to have umbrellas but it's taken me 3 years to find these ones so just go with it! 

11.56 miles completed today and an ice bath followed, supervised by a small monkey in grey trousers who decided to stand on the door! 

And that completed my 100 miles in the holidays challenge. 

 Other smiles today:

The female hockey team won the European Cup against the Netherlands and got so excited that they swarmed around Matthew Pinsent (who I rather like!) at the end.

A proper roast dinner for the first time in ages! 

Time Crashers was amusing. 

My boys are such good mimics. Just wish I understood all their jokes! (I obviously watch different programmes!)

More owl spotting today around the Bullring.

Some of the owls look just as good from the back! 

I particularly liked this owl that is full of hopes for the future. Some wonderful aspirations including finding a cure for cancer and skydiving over the Bahamas!

A folder with my name on it - must be at least 22 years old! 

And a gift with my name on. Thank you for the chocolates, Chris and Jenny. I hope you had a very special wedding day.

A lovely pootle around Lichfield as Isaac had a guitar lesson. Beautiful even when the sky is grey!

TimeHop strikes again! This made me laugh! Wonder who'd be on it now?

One happy boy with a new watch. And a special Mondaine one too. 

One not so happy boy as the school playground gets covered with temporary classrooms. 

Smiles as Greg Rutherford completed a golden hat trick with Jessica Ennis-Hill and Mo Farah. 

And we all enjoyed Educating Wales, especially the small boy snooping outside the SLT meeting!
