Sunday morning date ride.....

Hey guys, Welcome back to the Blog!

This week's adventure sees us visit the ock street fair, usual work stuff, dinner, a show and a Sunday bike ride date for coffee.

The fair lasts just two days and runs the whole length of Ock street in Abingdon, officially called the Michaelmas fair it is the longest street fair in Europe. It comes round every year and being residents of ock street it is right outside our door, two evenings of fun fair food, treats and walks up and down, as well as late nights due to the noise and later morning starts to make up the sleep.

We usually go on the waltzers but this year I wasn't really feeling it so we mostly just took a wander, got some food and treats and chilled with some TV, the cold I spent most the previous weekend fighting off hadn't gone, and even as I write this now a week later its still not fully gone, but its nearing the end.

The rest of the week wasn't really much different to normal, in fact the only change really was that i did more walking this week mostly due to the fair, but i have adjusted my training to throw in more walking commutes.

Roll around to the weekend and Saturday was a day of adventure sort of. Kick start with an early more coffee shop stop and breakfast with some TV then lunch out at ask Italian, courtesy of a gift card from mummy last year, In the evening we went to go and see the dark room by John Robertson, honestly I haven't laughed that much in a long time, my jaw ached, my stomach hurt and I was crying with laughter! We thoroughly enjoyed the show and will go back next time hes round or were close enough to attend one.

Sunday morning, the day I'm writing this was date ride day, we often choose days where we go out together on a short-ish bike ride usually with a coffee shop break in the middle or at the end and just enjoy a gentle ride, chatting away taking in the views and enjoying the mostly quiet roads, its a great was for both of us to get some easy training in, spend time together and get out moving first thing. Plus there is coffee.

So i suppose as i get to the end of this blog it's actually been quite a busy week? Next week we have a smaller fair in town, I'm going to park run with my friend and I'm fairly certain i have something booked in for Sunday but I can't remember what it is.

Anyhow, I'm going to head off to finish up some jobs before a chill afternoon.

Thanks for reading,

Scribble back,

Love from

Solo bike ride and Squirrels

Hey guys, Welcome back to the adventure blog! A weekly Blog where I share with you my adventures through sports, fitness, life and everything in between! This week I want to share my first solo bike ride, well it's sort of my first solo bike ride. Okay so background check, its not my first time riding solo on a bike, I use to do it to and from work, and I've been round the park several times on my own, and growing up back home I was always out on the bike, but this was my first solo bike ride that was just a bike ride, not a commute, but a self navigated bike ride, on a road bike, by myself. I am not as confident a cyclist as i was growing up, but growing up I always stuck to paths or trails and there were a lot less cars, where I live now is busier for cars and I generally try to stay off the path unless its a cycle path, this has meant working my way through building my confidence on a bike. Chris has taken me out on several bike rides, some long ones som...

Wind down week and keeping plants alive......

Double post this weekend guys! (only just got round to posting my Halloween one) This week has been a mostly chilled one with a week of lighter work outs and more rest before I kick start my first hard week of three, I'm going to be following a three weeks on one week off system, so 3 weeks of harder efforts and then an easier week, the easier week will still have runs and rides, just a lower intensity. This week I have also been working on my plants, I dropped a small fortune on plant care stuff, pots and an orchid but I finally have everything i need to complete my indoor gardener badge, so all i have to do now is keep them alive till January.... If you're wondering what i am on about talking about badges, I am working through the Rebel Badge book a book that gives you tasks to do to earn badges much like scouts or guides but for adults! Its a fun little book with a great community around it. So one expensive shopping trip and a huge mess later I have all...

Where did my baby go?

(contains amazon associates link) Hey guys, it's been a while! My last post was a little before my return to work, were are now half way through 2025! So where are we? Well little man isn't so little, at 16 months he is in full blown toddler hood, we walk, run, climb, scream, babble, and have super sass (gets that from me), we get frustrated at not being able to do things but want to be into doing everything! He has been at nursery for about 7 months now and has fully settled in found his confidence and loves every day! We have had our fair share of illnesses, accidents and art work and we are currently preparing for the transition to the next room. As for me, I've settled into being a Mama and a Teacher, I've reflected on my life and started making adjustments, I have also had my fair share of illnesses (though not as many as the boy) and I'm surviving, not quite thriving, but getting closer to the threshold. What have we been up to? Lately? trying t...
