One week since it stopped snowing, but traversing our road is still something of an obstacle course. The easiest place to walk is on the road since the pavement is cluttered with random piles of snow from where the Council cleared the road with their snow plough and people in the street have dug their cars out of their drives. Wish the snow would hurry up and melt!

Mr W has a new challenge - he wants to run the routes of all the London tube lines visiting every station along on the way and raising money for Sands. He's calculated that it will involve over 300 miles of running and he's set himself the ambitious target of completing it within 9 months. This morning he set off early on his second run - last week he did the Victoria line and today he tackled the southern section of the Jubilee line. You can read about his exploits on his blog and if you're feeling generous sponsor him here: http://www.justgiving.com/runningthetubelines

Today we hired bikes and cycled across the Golden Gate Bridge. Not nearly as scary or as difficult as I thought it would be - the hardest bit was the hill up to bridge level!

Today I did my first open water triathlon in Bexhill and it was tough despite only being a sprint distance. There are no photos from the event as I was too nervous pre-race and afterwards it was so wet all we wanted to was get home, where as you can see from the picture it was almost sunny! Just seen the results and happily I wasn't last, in fact I finished in 1h 47min 57sec.  Not uber-fast but for a first attempt in choppy seas I'm not too disappointed!

Introduction

A while ago I met someone who was mid-way through a personal challenge to take a photo every day for a year. Looking back now I can't remember why they were doing it and what they were planning to do with all their photos, in fact to my shame this lack of knowledge may simply just be because I never even asked.

Fast-forward to a couple of months ago and I was trying to think of new ideas for blogs having finished writing about my half-marathon challenge and being somewhat lacking in inspiration for new baking blogs to write. 'Wouldn't it be nice to document the highs, lows and mundanities of my life in pictures?' I thought and so the idea of posting a photo a day for a year was formed. I wanted to start on a special day and since the beginning of the year had long since gone when I had the idea, I decided that my birthday would be good date to choose instead.

And so, today the 7th June 2010 my new blog is born....
