Battling for Bronze!

Hi Folks,

It's been such a mad few months recently, with no spare time at all. So I'm very relieved, on this lovely Sunday afternoon, to finally been able to update my blog.

With winning the bronze medal at The British Adult Championships in Sheffield last weekend, in the Class 2 over 47's at Pre-Bronze level, followed by winning the gold medal in the Spin, Spiral, Jump competition at my local rink the following day, I really did at some point think that perhaps I had taken on too much.

So by Wednesday, knowing that I would have to get up at 4.30 am to appear as a guest newspaper reviewer on Allan Beswick's BBC Radio Manchester Breakfast Show,  I wondered where I would find the energy. I was more than grateful when my lovely husband offered to get up with me and drive me to Media City.

It was very exciting, sitting with my coffee, pouring over all the morning papers.  I had to browse through and choose six stories to talk about on air; four serious and two light-hearted. I loved the experience of being on the radio, and Media City is amazing!

If you would like to listen to my stint on the radio, here is the link above. Just play and scroll in around 45 minutes to 6.45 am and then again to 7.20 am.

Take care,

Love Cathx

  1. I'm not surprised you're worn out - but all those medals must have lifted your spiritis?
    And what a helpful OH you have.

    Small typo alert - did you 'pour' your coffee over the stories or were you 'poring' over them? :)
