Andy's Tor des Geants
In a fantastic 5 days and 11 hours Andy came in 148th out of 1200 starters.
It was an epic run, through thunder storms, up and down mountains with 2-3 hours sleep per night .
Very nerve racking for those of us who followed the on-line course of the race, but apart from blistered feet he coped amazingly well and for once seems quite pleased with the result.
The race started and finished in Cour Mayeur in Italy and is run through the beautiful Aosta valley - wild and rugged with some peaks of over 10,000 ft here are some pictures of the terrain, which Andy somehow managed to photograph on his way

Anita's Open Garden
This year this magnificent garden was open again to raise funds for Noreen's Kids.
The garden looked wonderful thanks to Anita and Gordon's hard work and that of their neighbour, whose garden is adjacent to who was collecting for another local charity.
Once again we had local artists exhibiting and selling their work.
It was open for two weekends and altogether the event raised about £2500 , shared between the two charities - our share was £1250, which is a magnificent contribution.

Philippa's Marathon
On June the 4th in Weybridge Philippa dusted off her running shoes and took part in a half marathon to raise money For Noreen's Kids.
Considering this was a fairly last minute decision with perhaps not quite the ideal amount of training and preparation she did amazingly well with a time of 2 hours 15 mins.
More than that she managed to raise £412.
A wonderful achievement Philippa , we are so grateful for this amazing effort
