Thank you to our incredible team of runners who completed the London Marathon on Sunday. Collectively they raised over £85,000! Feeling inspired? Ballot applications for the 2025 London Marathon are open until 9pm tonight. To increase your chances of securing a place, why not…
Caught a small crop of beautiful bluebells along the way too 😊
Back from run and ‘think’ I’ve unlocked a few bits of the story..puzzle pieces that were in the wrong place Never does a dose of Vitamin N not get the creative juices flowing; give my characters space to show me the way, and unlock those writerly ideas #VitaminN #FridayFeeling

Don’t think I’ve ever done so many steps mostly standing in one place!! Great to be part of the @cbukhelp cheer team supporting today’s runners 🙌🙌 If only ‘clap-count’ was a thing too 👏👏👏 #londonmarathon2024
It’s Marathon Day! On my way to join the @cbukhelp cheer point team of volunteers; can’t wait to see all the runners come through Question is, will I be able to avoid wanting to run again next year 🏃🏻♀️😍🙌 Good luck to all the runners, an incredible day #LondonMarathon2024
Bluebells as far as the eye can see 💙 #HeverCastle #Kent #Bluebells
There are times I wish he could talk…he’d literally been in the garden no more than 10mins, and when he raced back in was desperate to bring me half his bedding as a gift… You’d think I’d left him…for hours…🐾💛 #SillySaturday #GoldenPaws
Wow, some tree…💚
