Hello there, and welcome back to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog post published in the last week, please remember this, posts which are older will be removed from the linky.

I hope you had a great Easter and were able to take some time out with family and friends and recharge. We know you’ll find some great posts to read, and maybe some new-to-you blogs too, so do pop over and visit some of the posts linked and share some of that love. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here this week we’re pleased you’ve joined us.

This weekend it’s the London Marathon, which is a really great event which goes right past my front door. It’s a weekend we look forward to, and I’m glad it’s back to its April slot in the calendar after a brief sojourn into October to accommodate the changes due to the pandemic. Since when the runners are more spread out, understandably, but it means that the time it takes to get half the competitors through is much, much longer.

This photo is from a pre-pandemic race with a couple of the entrants making their way to the start line. We don’t get so many of the fun runners in costumes coming past, though we do get some, on the whole we’ll expect to see the elite runners, followed by club runners as well as fun runners, which as a term is a complete misnomer for me at this distance!

Let’s hope the weather works out for them, and doesn’t affect their preparations too much. And if you see me on the telly, I’ll give you a wave!
