One of the gazillion reasons I #loveparkrun are the people you meet. Yesterday at #WoodhouseMoor, we met Anthony and Nigel, who were visiting from #Eire. They had run every parkrun over there, raising £12k for Alzheimer's into the bargain.

Growing and thriving in the gutter of the busy Leeds to Shipley Road, I'm 100% sure this #snapdragon seeded from my over-the-door planter. There's also some in a neighbour's garden.

When there are bad and scary things going on in the world, and you can't do anything about them, skim stones. It's fun. And a distraction.
