After sheep racing yesterday it was Paul's turn today, he was running the Great North Run in his naughty nurse costume, despite being crippled earlier in the week by some idiot riding his mountain bike on the pavement!
Here we have Loki stood with Sandstorm and Tenzing relaxing!
Here is part of our knitwear (after it had been touched and felt so not as neat as it was as the start of the display).
Paul completed with 13.1 miles in 1 hour 43 minutes which I think is fantastic, he wasn't so pleased as he was expecting to do it 10 minutes quicker before his injury. He has managed to raise in excess of £3,000 for Macmillan Cancer, so a big thank you to everyone who sponsored him. He is already tucked up in bed with a very sore foot.
Going back to the sheep racing Sam along with lots of other people have been asking how I managed to get my sheep to run and jump the hurdles. I think I've mentioned on more than one occasion in the past my sheep are all very friendly and some of them (Mia in particular) don't think they are sheep so they have been quite easy to train. Sheep will do anything for a bit of food, plus knowing their names helps.
Good luck with the training Sam if you get up to scratch you will have to enter next years race!!
Finally I thought I would share a few more photo's from yesterday. Here we have Golden Guinea with Hughie in the background.

Well done Paul, a fantastic amount raised for a good cause. Hope I don't see you in that nurse's outfit unless you're racing!

Well done Paul, that's amazing.
Being a renowned salad dodger, I would struggle walking that sort of distance, let alone doing it in less than three days ;o))

Excellent run Paul, now I wonder does Debbie have to don the outfir to bring you any pain relief ! :0)...the photos of the show look great and I can spy a little head, with no hat on...among the models in the last one.....Jayne

Well spotted Jayne, it was too warm for my hat but I did have my Ursula ear rings in!
As for doning the dress it will need a good decontamination before it is fit to get close to anything!
Congratulations Paul!
Knitwear looks fabulous, Debbie.
