Reasons to be Cheerful: Better late than never! #R2BC

Due to work commitments and then being ill I am very late with my reasons to be cheerful this week! Its a good job that Michelle is a kind host. There were lots of reasons for me to be cheerful:
1) Lakes Alive
We joined in with a drumming parade and then some light and music installations on Kendal Castle. Its great living in a town that embraces culture in the great outdoors:

2) Return to parkrun

I have been missing in action from our local parkrun for months due to family commitments. It was wonderful to be back (although I will be missing a few again!):

3) Proud mum

My son had his first top 3 finish in a fell race for 3 years at the Great Westmorland Trail Race. A great boost for his confidence as well as making me proud:

4) Furry family

Love my little guinea pigs and they seem to appreciate me by giving me cuddles:

5) Super sunsets

One of the best things about being back up on the Helm for training is the cracking sunsets we get whilst we are up on the hill:

Now to go and catch up on everyone else's happy posts for this week:
