Olympic Sport at The Larches

Like many mums and dads up and down the land, we too were gutted to learn that first the 9yo's sports day was to be cancelled due to hideous weather and then, a week or so later, the 7yo's was cancelled for the same reason. Naughty weather.

In the briefest of respite from the biblical chastisement (all brought about thanks to Shades of Grey ... if you know what I mean! *Looks prim and buttons up cardigan*) we have designed our own sports events; there's Mud Walking in Sledge Field, there's Digging Out The Stream, there's Tossing The Caber (aka filling up the log basket.. IN JULY!!) but by far the most popular event is the Lamb-Dash 100m sprint.

  1. Thats a plump pet lamb! I used to love having pet lambs as a child, trouble was we kept a few to become sheep and the one would still try to jump on you at the age of 6 when she was quite a bit bigger!
    I was at work the other day and mentioned my blogs to the boss, Andy and he said "you'd have loved who we did a job for last year, she had a blog and wrote for shropshire life magazine" I asked a couple more questions then knew who it was straight away! Small world!

  3. Kev Alviti: What a small world. I remember joining your site a year or two ago! Just caught up with you and I love the work your doing. We're just about to have all our sash windows replaced by a craftsman.
    Best wishes to you.

    Tattie Weasle: Wouldn't that be the best! She could enter the swimming too (she fell in the pond last week!!!)
