28. Send postcards to my family

It is always nice to receive a postcard from someone you love when they are away, it is a reminder that you mean something to them and they want to share a moment of their holiday with you... this is the reason why I wanted to send them to my family.

And I sent them via an app called Touchnote which is really easy to use and they are not expensive either! and the best thing is you are using your own photos so each one is personal.

Here are the photos I took and used for my postcards:

4. Write a letter to the unknown soldier

As I am sure you are well aware it is 100 years since world war one started, it is hard to believe the suffering and sacrifice that was endured by people at the time but we can be grateful for their sacrifice and try and learn from the mistakes of the past.

A project was launched to commemorate in a unique way... they are better at saying it so find out more here: http://www.1418now.org.uk/letter/about/ 

So I changed my list slightly as I was going to write a letter to Ellen but I felt this was more worth while and I wanted to be a part of something bigger.

20. Take my parents out for dinner

On Friday 8th August, I took my parents out for dinner in their and my favourite Indian restaurant which is called Bollywood Fusion and it is located in my home town of Louth. We had a lovely evening and as we are regulars in this particular Indian we actually got a free nightcap which was nice! 
My parents was very surprised when I said I wanted to take them out which was nice because it made it special.

39. 12 Years a Slave

I have now read the book and watched the film. I really enjoyed the book from start to finish, it was really well written and I don't mean in a way that I was surprised, I mean it was a good book and I really enjoyed it and it was great it was told in such a true way! It did leave me thinking what a difficult place it was to live and still can be for people who are different, not just black people. 

31. Write a note and leave it somewhere for someone else

So I went cycling around Pitsford Water during my first week at my new job (which I am loving in case you wondered) and a guy came up to me and asked which was the best way to run as he hadn't been before so I told him and off he went. I got my stuff together and set of a few minutes later. I passed him 10 minutes later and waved and he waved back so I thought interesting.
So when I stopped to take a photo as the sun was shining on the water and it look amazing (see picture below) and he passed me so I smiled, he smiled and I continued with my interested thought. I passed him again as I carried on cycling and decided that he was the person to receive my note which is below. So when I got back to my car I wrote the note and left it under his windscreen.

To date no response so in the office we have concluded he is married or in a relationship! (i do think maybe the note blew away... who knows?)

27. Complete Tough Mudder

WOW what a day!!! Sunday 13th July was Tough Mudder day, it came round quickly but I trained hard and I was ready for it! We went round as a team and we did it in 4 hours! I was and still am so pleased with myself!

Here are some photos from the day:

And here are the bruises and cuts I got from the course, which did mean a trip to the hospital for a tentis shot but all in a days extreme challenge fun!!!

And when I went to go get a bite to eat, who do I know as been watching... none other than Uncle Scott! He would be proud!!!

22. Plant Seeds in Random Places

I went out on an 'evening walk' a couple of weeks ago and scattered some sunflower seeds in places around Market Harborough which were missing some colour. I chose please that would be seen and the weather has been a good mixture of rain and sun that hopefully they will have found there way into the ground.
Below is a picture of all the places I dropped some seeds so if you see sunflowers let me know:
