Random Pre-Christmas Fun

Late last year, I was forced, kicking and screaming all the way, back into an (albeit haphazard and fair weather only) exercise regime.  The culprit?  One, Louise Yarrall.

I was signed up for a Pretty Muddy run to raise money for Breast Cancer Research - a worthy cause, as always.  As the name suggests, this race involves running, in mud.

Since that went really well and was huge fun, Teams Reid and von Yarrall were then entered into a Santa Run through Battersea Park.  Yep, hundreds of people running while dressed as santa.  Good times!

Ready to race!

Warming up with some festive aerobics

We also paid a visit to the Harry Potter studios, which had been decked out for Christmas (i.e. covered in fake snow).  So cool!  It had all the sets, including the potions room, with self-stirring cauldrons, Griffindor common room etc etc and all the costumes, creatures and special effects.  Highly entertaining.

 

 

 

Just a "leetle" bit excited...

 

 

We had been excited by the prospect of trying Butterbeer...  but it turns out it was really sweet, really gritty, and really gross.  Oh well, put on a brave face!

 

Mmmm, butterbeer....

Is there time for one more trip before the year's end?  Yeah....  probably....

Au revoir!
