After having been abandoned for about 5 weeks, the most expensive tomatoes in the world (see above) have yielded untold bucketfuls of ripe cherry tomatoes. Arrived to found about a quarter of the harvest on the floor, lost: this year they’ve ripened earlier. Yet every day now I’m picking up more than enough for a dinner for 4, with prospects to continue to do so for several weeks going forward. Kilos and kilos, produced by about 52 plants, largely unwatered except by rain. The British truly mean something else by “drought”.

My Half Marathon countdown is now measured in days, not weeks: 16 days to go! Today, I'm planning on some intervals. On Sunday, I'm off to Grafham Water with my running club.
I'm halfway there on my fundraising for Centre 33, who do amazing work supporting and counselling young people in Cambridgeshire.

I did the Cogwheel Canter this morning in Girton; 10K in just under 50 mins. My Running Events Cambridgeshire t-shirt got its first outing. I'm a little under the weather so my throat and lungs didn't thank me, but I need to keep getting the runs in ahead of my Cambridge Half Marathon run for Centre 33 in March. Please sponsor me!

In 2020, I ran my first half marathon for Centre 33, who provide counselling and support for young people in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. In 2025, I'm doing it again! In 10 weeks I'm aiming to beat my PB of 1:38:00 at the Cambridge Half, which I set in 2020.
