Shed and Breakfast

Dear friends and family and all supporters, I have written a bit of a reflection on the ‘3 runs make a marathon’ challenge and wanted to share it with you as my closing message on this! ### thanks for sticking with me!

All prepared with nowhere to go!!!

Sadly this message popped up in my email this afternoon!

‘Event cancellation

We’re really sorry to confirm that this year’s Great South Run (10 miles), scheduled to take place on Sunday 20 October, has been cancelled due to the forecasted high winds and rain.’

So… as we are here and I’ve been eating carbs all day! I am going to head out anyway and see if there are a few keen beans giving it a go unless it’s really blowing a proper howler! And I’ll keep you posted!

But it doesn’t feel quite the same in regards of honouring my 3 runs make a marathon goal so… I’ve booked myself into the The Wiltshire Half Marathon on Sunday 24th November 2024! We will get there eventually!

Just been for a pre ‘big run’ bobble along the seafront in Portsmouth and saw two people in the sea in Woolly hats and cozies! it made me smile and then I thought why not?! stripped off my clothes and swam in my sports bra! when I got out I thanked the woolly hatted couple for the inspiration and they gave me some breakfast baklava! A good start to the day! And now it’s time for Indy Jon and me to hit the Portsmouth high life before the big effort tomorrow! Nearly there…! Thanks for all the support https://www.justgiving.com/page/daisy-bass-doing-it-differently

Here goes!

The Last run of the three runs make a marathon is this Sunday at The Great South Run and we have now raised just over £3000 which has way surpassed the original target of £1000 so thank you everybody who has donated. But I do have a confession to make! I totally miscalculated the cumulative distance of my 3 runs! I thought the last run was a half marathon but it’s actually 10 miles! so I’m 3.8 miles short- oops! To make up for it, I’ll be doing a 4 mile warm down run at home on the 27th Nov and that will be the closing date for any donations and the last of these messages! Thanks for hanging in with me over the last 6 months! https://www.justgiving.com/page/daisy-bass-doing-it-differently

Here we go again! Run number 2 is this Sunday at Cheltenham race course and I am getting a good nights sleep right near the start line! gearing myself up to crawl round the 10k fuelled by jelly babies in my end of summer holidays rather exhausted state!!! Wish me luck! Indy staying home this time after a summer of braving crowds at the Olympics no less! This boy needs a quiet weekend at home before school starts so I’m flying solo! Thanks for all the support- I’m now trying to reach £3000 plus for the national autistic society as I’m feel buoyed on by all the support! We can do it! Last run on the 20th Oct so I’m nearly there!

It has taken a few years but finally a new shed is in our lives at our home near Frome. I will share more about ‘a little space’ soon but couldn’t resist sharing a first pic of this amazing second hand hut we found and have given a new home to… watch this space…

Woweee!!! Thank you to everyone that supported us so far- next run is on September 1st so we’ll go quiet for a while now! But just wanted to sign out with a massive thank you to those who have donated to Daisy and indy’s fundraiser for National Autistic Society

We have raised £2,635 so far which is amazing!

Our first stop at backyard village on our Iceland adventures reminds us of shed and breakfast!

08/07/2021

Shed and breakfast take 2 has not quite emerged as we had thought it might! But little seeds of ideas for the future here at the batch are starting to germinate! In the mean time I scroll my pics and am reminded how special it is to be living in this corner of the world and to be creating a home here. As anxiety has wrattled me and many of us this year I look at my boy swing in a hammock with a chicken and breath deep!
