A different sort of Sunday
Sunday morning lie in!
Now that doesn't happen very often.
We decided yesterday evening that we would give car boot sales a miss today. It is so cold - the plus temperature doesn't feel very accurate, because the wind feels so sharp.
We were down to breakfast by just after 10 o'clock.
I then managed to write up all yesterday's purchases and much of it is ready to take to the shop tomorrow.
We had a small early lunch, before leaving to take up our duties at the sportshall athletics league, held in Horsham.
On this occasion there were enough timekeepers - but at the next meeting Bill and I could be operating on our own; though I am sure we could ask one or two others to join us.
The atmosphere at these meetings is great - lots of noise!
Isn't she lovely?
Excellent picture of handsome lively John.
Jessica silhouetted against the low tide.
And here is dear Mambo!

This is a website picture of young atheletes turning at one end of a sportshall.
I had hoped to get a similar picture myself, but there was no time.
The races come thick and fast.
There are also jumping and throwing events.
As in all league matches points awarded for positions and the top club today was.......Crawley!
There is a very good spirit and a willingness to work in the young Crawley team; but also in the other teams too.
Jamie and Ashley might well be interested in a conversation I had with Clive Southgate. I asked if Gareth had now put thoughts of future football management to one side.
This seems to be the case - he is finding life as a football pundit much more relaxing and now finds he has much more time to spend with the family.
This evening we are relaxing - and enjoying some lovely pictures that Jamie posted today.
I have put a few here because not everybody who reads the blog would see the photos anywhere else.
These pictures were taken yesterday at the beach bar - so exceedingly lovely for us to imagine being there with them.

Time for Lark Rise to Candleford.
Goodnight.
