Continuing with this year’s theme, today I completed my first sprint triathlon, finishing with a time of 1:55:55 (and coming 155 of 157).

This week my family said goodbye to Teazle, who was put to rest on Tuesday.

Continuing with tradition – and following previous springtime trips to Aberdeen, Inverness and Dundee – last week I again ventured north.

Even though this article is from 2021, Roff Smith’s photographs of Sussex are so incredibly beautiful it still merits sharing.
