Reasons to be Cheerful: Sunshine, Garden and Wainwright Bagging #R2BC

I am feeling in a particularly cheerful mood as I host for the last time before handing back over to Michelle! The financial pinch of 2 weeks with no paid work is over and although I am not working full time I can breath again... So here are my reasons to be cheerful this week:
1) Tutorial in the sun
We didn't have as long a heatwave as everyone else in the UK but my student on Thursday made the most of it by having her lesson in the garden:

2) Gardening 

Since writing about my front garden last week I have made even more progress! I grabbed some 50p bargain flowers from the supermarket to add some instant colour. My wild seedlings are beginning to sprout and since this photo the grass has been cut:

Just hoping that my sad looking jasmine will survive!

3) Wainwright bagging

Whilst filming the fell races on Saturday I took the chance to finally get to the top of Cat Bells. You can see how pleased I was with myself:

4) Kendal Winter League celebrations

The Kendal Winter League had its finally race this weekend and afterwards all the prizes were awarded. This is how the Rylance family from Ambleside celebrated 3 age group victories:

5) YouTube

Yes I know I celebrated this last week but thanks to filming a big fell race I managed to get over 1,000 views in 48 hours! In fact it peaked at 1,500 but I didn't get a screenshot... There are now 111 folks subscribed to my channel so I guess I have found my niche and need to keep on honing my filming and editing skills on fell races:
