2014 Week 15 Day 5 – It was really hot today and so we felt for the runners in The London Marathon 2014, particularly my sister Camilla who ran it in a wedding dress!! She didn’t break the London Marathon record for the fastest run while dressed as a bride, but she did raise loads of money for the Jubilee Sailing Trust, a charity which offers sailing experiences to people with disabilities. Well done Camilla. Although I wanted to watch it on the telly, the kids were going a bit stir crazy, and so we left for Basildon Park, a beautiful Georgian mansion surrounded by parkland.
As we left for The Park, I was alerted to the fact that Camilla had been interviewed on the BBC, so, in homage to her task at this time, the boys decided to compete in running races themselves.
And then a bit of rolling,
flower sniffing,
ambling,
and generally just being cool,
before finally, we all decided we were very tired and needed to go home and rest!
