English Schools

This photo is from the Wolds. One of the dry valleys in a very early stage, barely an undulation in the chalk. What would have been sheep pasture has been ploughed up and planted by the farm. However the bridal way and some of the trees and bushes along it, that follows the valley, is still there. It is like walking on a strip of the past through the present.

Rowan has been selected again to represent North Yorkshire in the High Jump at the English Schools Athletics championships http://www.esaa.net/v2/2013/tf/tf13intro.php . This is the big national event for her age group, so she is very pleased; it is a real honour. She travels with the team and spends two nights in Birmingham [well, you can't have everything] for the meeting.
