Imo to run Lewa Marathon

Imo put this on the Keeling Clan:
Hi all.
I’m out in Kenya at the moment, and amongst doing other things I’ve just signed myself up for the Lewa Marathon. (I’m just doing the half and it’s in 14 days, eeek).

Anyway here’s the link to the page just so that you can check it out if you’re interested. There’s also a donate button if you feel like it sounds like a worthy cause.

Thank you and Lots of love XXXX

Three Peak 24 hour Challenge

We have completed our Three Peak 24 hour Challenge and smashed it! We started at 0700 on Tuesday and were up and down Ben Nevis (1344m) in three hours fifty minutes. Then Scafell Pike (978m) in a similar time and finally Snowdon (1085m) in four hours. We started Snowdon at 0100 this morning and completed the whole Challenge in 22 hours. We had a guide for each mountain and Arthur accompanied us as team photographer. All home now weary and sore but very grateful for the huge encouragement and support we received from so many different people. This has included very generous contributions from far and wide to the Young Minds charity, amounting to £2,591. Thank you. Also many thanks to Mum and Dad for driving 1,320 miles on the round trip. Love Imo and Flora.

Golf buggy in pool

Tom, Siobahn and family were visiting Imo's godfather Tim Kary in Hampshire. Tim kindly gave Imo (age 9) driving lessons in his golf buggy. Flora (age 6 and 11 months) was riding as passenger. Imo hadn't quite got a grip of the difference between forward and reverse. Under Tim's watchful instruction she reversed the buggy into the swimming pool.

Imo said afterwards "I thought I was going to drown", she was in shock for the rest of the day. Flora was quite annoyed because she had only just got dressed and her clothes were all wet again. She said she will never drive a golf buggy near a swimming pool.

The buggy was recovered the next day with the help of a friendly farmer.
