We headed to Jubilee Bedford parkrun for my husband’s 100th different event. His Cowell. It ticked off so many parkrun challenges including the last letter I needed for the namely challenge. Plus with one alphabet complete it seems sensible to start a second, right? it did cover a lowish number I need towards my Wilson … Read more
