Spring Forward & A Sponsored Cycle

So apparently spring is on it's way and to be honest it can't come quick enough, I'm completely fed up of reading everyones status updates about the weather. I have windows, I normally look out of them at least once a day, so why I need to be told what I'm already seeing I have no idea. This winter seems to have been especially bad for it, the tiniest bit of snow and people are moaning. Well, I managed to buy two cats from various snow engulfed places in The Valleys during the worst of it, and I drive a little Seat Ibiza so it can't have been that bad (nb. I might have almost got stuck up a very snowy hill!!! But I did manage to get up it in the end).

I really do hope that the weather does get a little warmer by Wednesday though, as I am doing a sponsored cycle ride from Thames Valley Park in Reading, to Stonehenge in Salisbury. It's over 59 miles and the furthest I've been in the past 10 years is 15 miles to Castell Coch and back (that was on Saturday). We're raising money for Sustrans - Sustainable Transport, who over the past 30 years have been working on making safe routes for cyclists and pedestrians alike.

If you would like to sponsor me then I have a JustGiving page and if you would like to find out more about Sustrans then you can check out their website.

This weeks Craftyfolk featured shop is Lynwoodcrafts, and here's my treasury with one of their items - dedicated to spring.
