It's been a wet few days, but Saturday morning provided a beautiful example of Britain in Autumn. There was a low mist over the grounds and the sun was in the sky at Hatfield House as Jo stepped out for her first competitive race in over 16 months. In aid of The Willow Foundation, Jo ran an impressive 51 minute race over a bumpy course, supported by Tim, Euan and former Arsenal legend (and 2-time Scotland goalie) Bob Wilson. Bob was so impressed with Jo's sprint finish that he even gave her a high-5 as she crossed the line!
Is that shell-suit-wearing-new-messiah David Icke on the left of Des Lynam?
Straight after the race, we headed to Harlow for Jo's birthday lunch, where she opened all her presents (thanks, everyone!) and ate a lot of lovely cake.
The tube strike and rain today would make us all very miserable, were it not for the fact we're looking forward to our trip to Australia in less than 5 days' time. The bags are just about packed, and we're really looking forward to seeing Tim, Nina and the girls.
Mum and Dad Reid have just downloaded skype, so we can keep in touch with everyone back home whilst in Australia with the "young" Concannons.
In other news - Euan stuck his finger so far up his Dad's nose on Sunday that it bled for about 10 minutes. Considering Tim can spend a day playing rugby without earning so much as a scratch, that's pretty impressive.
