July Round Up

What a whirlwind of a month...& I can't believe my last blog was as far back as 6th June!! 😳 I'm not going to lie, there have been times that I've really struggled mentally while being out of the saddle... At the start, I kept busy with my blog and social media, but the energy began to drain as the recovery took longer & longer. Plus, I've had a really busy and pressurised four months at work - working for a travel company is fantastic, and I love the company I work for, but at a time like Covid when the vast majority of the team around you is furloughed, it becomes really difficult to keep up the spirit and motivation 😔

May Round Up (& a few thank you's!)

When I wrote my April round up blog, I'd really felt as though getting back onboard by the end of May was a reality. It wasn't, & here I am, seven weeks down the line with a wound still on my thigh. On one hand, it's felt like forever, and on the other, it seems only a short time ago, and in the greater picture of what happened, I've still been fairly lucky.

So, in a nutshell, there's not been too much going on over the last May for us, but here's a few updates from us, including a new addition to the team!!

First up, a few thank you's to all those that have been helping with Louie.
