Juneathon Day 2

~ Phil Lengthorn ~ 3 Comments

Up reasonably early this morning considering we had attended the first night of the Bourne Festival and supped various local ales that I can’t actually remember the names of.

I also feel the need to consider the dignified pigeon I spotted on yesterday’s run. Having thought about it further, the said pigeon may have actually just flown into a tree and was just standing dazed as I ran pretty close to it and it just stood there, staring.

This morning’s run was a nice gentle 4ish miles around the town. I ran through the Wellhead, site of the beer festival, which was very peaceful this morning, no drunk teenagers or pools of vomit in sight! It will be very different come tonight – ‘The League of Mentalmen’ are playing!

Juneathon – Day 1

~ Phil Lengthorn ~ 8 Comments

This was probably not the best week for Juneathon to start. Today marks the start of the Bourne Festival.  With its particularly catchy slogan, ‘It’s more than just beer!’:

Also, today marks the start of half-term. So the plan was to get out of school pretty quick, get home, get changed, set off for a nice gentle run around Bourne Woods with Billy Boy to dispatch Day 1 of Juneathon, go home, get showered, eat, blog and get to the bar!

Billy Boy went for a swim in the ponds for a cool down:

Sweet Deals! I’m off to the bar!
