Cancellation reminder 28th February ⛏️
As announced we are cancelled this week as Thames Water’s contractors are now on site.
We’ll now be taking each week as it comes but the good news is that the contractors have been in touch and are keen to keep us going as long as it is safe to do so.

While I was out running earlier my brain attempted to mash up Mother’s Little Helper by the Stones with Save Your Kisses for Me by Brotherhood of Man. For an hour. Thanks, brain.
Ha ha! 🙂
