The Countdown.....




Oh my...how did this happen so quickly?! 9 days to go and last night I had my first SHELTER charity cycle induced sleepless night! My main concerns were (a) the thought of a wing mirror clipping my backside and whipping me off into the ditch (b) finding ways to raise more money between now and the end of the 10 day event (c) Gillian (my lovely friend who will be driving to each destination, cooking lunch en route and encouraging me in the grumpy times) getting fed up with my neediness and driving off into the sunset. I know she won't really, but in the wee small hours these are the silly thoughts that creep in.
The good people of SHELTER have posted me a package with all the SHELTER t-shirts, collection buckets and info leaflets I'll need for myself and the friends joining me on different days, so that side of things is all coming together.
So as next Thursday creeps ever closer please spread the word, and if you want to come and wave me off I'll be leaving from Broughty Ferry Castle @ 10am on Thursday 1st September....see you there! :) x
