After the thrill of The London Marathon we are now extremely busy at the &B!!
Despite the many April showers in May mixed with sunshine lately, the garden has suddenly burst into colour! 🌸🌿 The flowers are looking absolutely amazing, and all the old walking boots are full and blooming beautifully too. It’s lovely to see the garden come to life again — it’s looking great at the moment! ☀️🌷

We’re also enjoying welcoming walkers arriving from all directions along the Coast to Coast, the Lady Anne’s Way, the Settle to Carlisle Walk and the Dales Way, to name just a few. We’re loving hearing everyone’s stories and being part of their walking adventures! 🥾😊

Yes!!!! We did it!!!!
What a day yesterday completing the London Marathon 2026💗

Such a huge build up to get to that start line… overcoming foot surgery, injuries, doubts, fundraising and everything in between. To finally be there felt emotional, exciting and a little bit nerve-wracking—especially with the unexpected heat!

Running for Breast Cancer Now made every single step matter even more. The generosity, love and support from family, friends, and our incredible guests has been overwhelming—thank you just doesn’t feel enough 💕

The crowds were unreal ALL the way round… the energy carried us when it got tough. And spotting familiar faces I wasn’t expecting—Kevin, Ellie, George, Anne, Rosie and Bob—was such a boost! And of course our absolute Joe and Rachel’s Dan 🙌

Rachel finding me at Mile 21 and then crossing that finish line with her surpassed everything else… we did it!! Together!! 💗
Over £4100 raised and still counting!!

A huge thank you to for their amazing support throughout this whole journey—from the very beginning right through to the unforgettable finish. That incredible reception at the Royal Automobile Club on Pall Mall… food, drinks, snacks, massages and even a round of applause as we walked in—just WOW.

💗 Just Wow 💗

Thankyou to you all ###x

London Marathon update! 🏃‍♀️

I can’t quite believe I’m saying this… 12 weeks to go!! 😳
Training is going well, injuries are behaving (for now!), and the miles are going into the legs — whatever the weather decides to do 🌧️❄️☀️
I even managed to complete the XBorder 10k Carlisle to Gretna Green on Sunday!! Great way to kick off the month!

I honestly can’t thank you all enough for the incredible support and donations so far. A special shout-out to everyone who’s bought Lockholme Marmalade — over £500 raised last season alone! 🍊💛 That support means more than you know.

To keep the fundraising going for Breast Cancer Now, Rachel and I are hosting a Coffee Morning at Lockholme:

☕ Saturday 28th February
🕙 10am–3pm
🏡 48 South Road Kirkby Stephen CA17 4SN

Please do drop in for a brew, homemade cake, a good chat, a raffle… and yes, plenty of marmalade!
