Many many many lives - all for the better. Many lovely people here in Street who carry on the flame - with about 150 this weekend. I still run Bushy if I’m there but I have lived here for 20 years and was so happy when they started here and where I volunteer.

parkrun no A190 - my single most important life achievement. And I had nothing to do with it!

All those years ago when I turned up by mistake at Bushy Park time trial I did not realise I had started a new running journey which I celebrate each day. I a grateful to you and everyone who believed a kind and positive start to each weekend was possible! You never lost the ethos! Thank you.

Does the dog walk on water?

As always fascinating.

and on p16 of #Sobel’s wonderful book she writes of Marie Curie arriving in Paris.. ‘she found the city’s beauty heightened by the freedom of its citizens, who openly spoke their own language’. Unlike Poland of the period oppressed by Russian hegemony. My sense of US oppression is minor I know.

How wonderful to find you here! The thought of losing you was the one thing that kept me on the other place. What was it called?
