The unlikely adrenaline hub of the world: Rossendale, Lancashire
About Minnellium This rather busy little plot on the edge of the internet that is home to Dave and Katie’s branch of the Haygarth family.

The website’s a blog, a photo album and a place I keep the best audio bits of Minnellium the band, all rolled into one.

December 05: The run up to Christmas

Click Here A trip on the Santa Special train with Grace, and a few update piccies of the progress on the house. Plus general being silly photos.

Blowing the trumpet

Me
Ever the one to blow my own trumpet (if only I could reach it), I thought it’s worth a cyclo-cross update. I’ve now won the North West cyclo cross league with still two rounds to go. Nice feeling. Warm glow, etc. But…. the icing on the cake came on Sunday 18th December, on a freeeeeeezing day at Beacon Hill park a few miles from Wigan when I managed my first victory of the season. Hooraaaaah! There was a slightly smaller field (46 signed on at the start) but I made it convincing, clearing off straight from the start and extending my lead on each of the seven laps of the woodland / hillside circuit. The slight down side was that it was so cold that there was a tiny gathering of spectators to see me come over the line in first place, but that’s not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Piccie courtesy of Ian McVety, from the previous week’s race at Ulverston.. (where I was second). Barrie Clarke struggles in the background…!

DFILM animated film creator

The only way I can think of to make some odd, personalised film in about five minutes without a camera: DFILM. Good honest Friday fun.
