 The other week, Ryan and some of this school friends took part in the Lancashire School Games. He was part of the athletics team and had races in the 100m, 400m which he came 2nd in both and did really well in javelin and jump.

An away game for Ryan and his team this weekend against the Cardishead Rhinos. It was great game and a great win, with Ryan getting three tries and Opposition Man Of The Match. And a short slow mo video of one of Ryan's tries https://photos.app.goo.gl/UDSLmqs7e34dak3g1

A Bank Holiday weekend and the weather was great shock!!  Yes lovely weather all weekend means we got to spend more time in the garden, but first I took the boys to see Avengers: Infinity War, no spoilers but great film and looking forward to the second part, even if we do have to wait a year.... Waiting for Avengers: Infinity War to start  On Sunday we went to Blackpool for their Comic Con World event. Unfortunately I think we were expecting more than the Preston one we have been to for a few years, but it turns out that this is only the second year so it's still in its infancy. We got to see a few displays and play on the odd game, and of course Ryan added to his ever growing collections of Lego figures. After that we had a stroll on the beach and a quick go on the log flume ride. Once home it was time to break out the BBQ for the first time this year. On Monday we got the rugby balls out and went to our home rugby groun...

So I booked a week off work over the Easter Holidays. Got two days out, and 5 days decorating.....  The first day out was to Blackpool Tower. Not been there in years. It's such a nice building, and the ballroom is lovely, wish we could have spent all day just in that room. Takes me back to when I was a kid and me and my older brother would go with our aunty and uncle who would dance while we just walked around the place..

At the weekend we as a family ran 5k for the Stroke Association. As most of you who have visited my blog before will know my youngest had a stroke over a year ago. He wanted to do something to raise money for the charity that has help him and us with his recovery and understanding what has happened to him.  It was a cold Sunday morning in Blackpool for the run, but with a great turnout and friendly lot we had a warmup and before we knew it we were off. Was a little hard going for me as I haven't done much running in the last few year, but with my eldest son on my shoulder all the way talking about the latest game he is playing it wasn't long before we were on the way to the finish line. :)  Ryan, mum and dog came in not long after at very reasonable times and I am proud of them all for doing it. Eldest Son: 30mins. Me: 34mins. Ryan: 47mins. Mum and Kylo: 50mins. So far we have raised almost £400 with still a few cash donations still to come in. The link is st...
