As I’m still working to get back to fitness, it’s been great to do Junior Parkrun with my son. Today - a 26 second PB for him

Flat lay done for tomorrow’s London Marathon.
I’m running for @alzheimersresearchuk.org - my Dad has it and it’s been really hard the past 18 months watching him slip away. There are good days, there are bad days but future generations need hope….

Matthew's fundraiser for Alzheimer's Research UK Help Matthew Pitcher raise money to support Alzheimer's Research UK

As you know I’m running the London Marathon and The Race to The King Ultra (102km) this year in aid of Alzheimer’s Research UK.
It’s a cause very close to my heart and it would be great to raise as much money as possible.

After a flying visit (on the train) to #TTRConnect to present and have a good natter with friends - I’m heading back down south. Have to say I’m shattered but will eventually get home just after 9

Melplash: The village church mixing sermons with shuttlecocks From the outside there's no clue the church in Melplash is different from any other.

So when the exam question this year asks β€œ Give two ways Christians use a Church” - will this gain marks????

It was great to hear @re-mcgee.bsky.social speak to our Southampton RE network today. She’s put together such a rich curriculum together and we got so many ideas we spent 30 minutes talking after the session!
Thanks @jenknight-re.bsky.social for co-hosting
