Life as a rural English 30-something. I am so full of tea, and my tea partner (baby sister) has left me for a few moments, so I thought I’d do a quick, live report. Check out this for afternoon tea…. Pistachio, raspberry and black peppercorn trifles; rose macaroons (the correct spelling on the menu delighted me); salt caramel cups; lemon, macadamia and ouzo tarts; egg mayo sandwiches with quails egg and caviar… And those were just the highlights. Yum. Back to it. Tell all your friends! Ce qui me gêne.

Our Big Fat Greek Marathon: Weekend Running
http://rungrrlrun.blogspot.com/2011/03/weekend-running.html
Our Big Fat Greek Marathon. With apologies to Nia Vardalos (we are HUGE fans, by the way) - we have decided to save up for a marathon in Athens in 2012. Between now and then we'll be running half marathons (and an occasional full marathon) in the continental US and saving our money for the big trip to Greece! Sunday, March 20, 2011. This has been a wonderful running weekend! On Saturday, I joined my training partner (Melissa) and my friend Kim. Try 3-4 minutes per mile slower! Look at that view! Me in my...

20 Miles | Becca Said
https://beccasaid.wordpress.com/2012/02/27/20-miles
Life as a rural English 30-something. I don’t think I need to say much more than that! But I will…. On Saturday, I ran 20 miles. OMFG. Especially as I skipped my 30-minute run on Thursday because I just didn’t feel like it. Take that, Thursday! We’re on bikes and we’re not going anywhere! And we’re listening to really awful music! So, I tried out a new one along the canal. It was super pretty…. It’s a big thing for someone like me – someone who starts projects but doesn’t finish them; s...The biggest sur...

Laurie, Rachel, Matt, Mark and I waiting for the race to start. It took us about 5-10 minutes for us to finally make it to the start line after the race officially started. We jogged for several hundred feet just to keep up with the flow of runners, then started walking. We made sure to stay off to the side of...Lauri...

Bed Head | Becca Said
https://beccasaid.wordpress.com/2012/02/19/bed-head
Life as a rural English 30-something. My Mum commented last week that most of my Flickr photos are of Barney and me in bed. I swear I don’t just laze around in bed all day! Another point is that general rolling around and cuddling and all those important things are just easier in bed. After changing his nappy, I’ll often have a few minutes of compulsory cuddles (I have to enforce these things while I still can! Him and Mini-Him, wearing their t-shirts accordingly. Hand over the phone! 20 Miles →. I reall...

What Kate is Cooking. Something Old, Something New →. Let The Challenge Begin! February 6, 2011. I have a new reason to go to cycling on Sunday mornings- a hot instructor! Unfortunately, he only teaches every other Sunday. I still like the instructor that teaches on the other Sundays, so I’m hoping this becomes a habit🙂. I was actually weak with hunger when I came home after 9. When will I learn? This happened last week too! I wondered if lentils would work instead… so I went for it! 1/4 cup oat bran.

The Brick Wall: October 2011
http://scrappyl62.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Playing outside is good for you. And me. Sunday, October 30, 2011. The Best 83 Cents Bill Has Ever Spent. Last week I got a pair of $109 cross-country ski boots for. Such a steal. A mere $145 later and I had skis, poles and mounted bindings. Bring on the snow, please. Today Bill scored a returned, but seemingly fully functional, Timex GPS watch. Saturday, October 29, 2011. Melie at G(r)eek Melie. 2) Our dehumidifier is broken, Bill just informed me. Bet none of you knew that already. He is also r...3) Th...
