Weekend

I dragged myself out of bed early on Saturday morning so that I could complete my first long run since Ironman. It was very cold and very damp but being a morning person it felt good to be out. Today I made a Steak and Guinness pie for dinner. This is the filling looking all frothy because I've just added the Guinness.
These are leeks from the garden that turned out to be tiny once that I'd cleaned and prepared them. I ended up tossing them on to the mash potatoes as garnish.And this is the finished pie about to be served. It looks pretty rough but it tasted good with a big pile of mustard mash (if I do say so myself).

Some photos from the last few months

This is the fountain outside of Wembley Arena when I went to see Oasis. The queues were huge!


Although it doesn't look like much this is the hole my motorbike left after I crashed it into a grass verge.
