September

Andy, it was an absolute privilege to go out for a couple of pots with you on the Friday and provide some brekky for the 3 of you on Sunday. I've missed your unique perspective on the world and the universe that I used to take for granted when you lived in Yorkshire.

I'd be happy for you to move back, by the way. I'm sure we could find you a gentile village in the Dales in striking distance of Airedale. Failing that I'll just have to wait for Lewes in March.

Funnily enough I took my cousin (who lives in Brighton) down to The Brown Cow last week and they were serving Harveys as a guest. Needless to say I had a pint.

My adoration of Cross Country has continued. Spenborough on Sunday was the latest chapter. The National Relays in Nottinghamshire, the day after the night before, was, as you mention, a highlight. And the season has plenty yet to offer.

I should cobble a post together really. My main targets (excluding XC) are the Ribble Valley 10k on New Year's Eve. Then the Moyleman and 3 Peaks around Easter. But, as you know, lots can happen between now and then.
