My titles don't seem to be very mind blowing, albeit confusing at times. In this case, they are two distinct events.
We had complimentary New Forest tickets from Ringwood Brewery (guess what that meant?) on Tuesday 29th. Again, a complete new experience for myself and of course Johanna.
The next thing is a Marathon, the 2009 Stockholm marathon to be exact. Yes, we've both entered it, with Johanna probably thinking 'it sounded like a good idea at the time'.....
We're looking at training regimes and getting our footwear all sorted when we get back to Sweden. We have 10months or so to get on, bearing in mind we are pretty fit at the mo! (If I can do the New Forest half marathon with no training in 1hr 49mins, then theres always hope) Will keep you posted on how things are going. Why are we doing it? Well the charity thing doesn't happen in Sweden, it's definitely pride and to say, well 'I've run a marathon' is to me a great thing. While we are young right?
Ok, just a little note on the show. Firstly, being VIP's we needed to dress up, check out how beautiful my lady is:

Note the cider, haha. Secondly, I just want to tell you how much was on display there!! From cattle shows, to wood-chopping, from flower shows to horse parades, it had a lot of classically British things. Lots of local foods, animals, gifts.....too much to summarize, but again I'm very glad I went: Considering it has 100,000 peope visit it in 3 days, it must be worth something. We had free food and drink all day (no we didn't get slaughtered), had a laugh and probably the biggest thing-we went on a SouthWest train, haha. It was on time and didn't de-rail. Again, another day of firsts- I definitely think despite my harsh criticism of this place, we are making the most of it. Just 2.5 weeks until Ireland, then on to Sverige...yey!
