Story

The year when our summer holiday took a rather different turn....

If one was to view my recent internet history, one’s eyes would light up and sparkle with delight and excitement; with an abundance of beautiful images in sunny locations. Cuba, Croatia, Mexico, Greece, Vietnam, Ibiza, Sicily, the list goes on. Sandy beaches surrounded by azure seas, rainbow coloured cocktails, salt water in my hair, yummy food- cooked for us, brought to us and cleared away from us, and all the other wonderful reasons for taking a vacation.

Then we went bouldering. Then we went for a beer. Then we had another and for those of you who know ‘the beer shop’, these beers can be rather strong. And then I struck on an idea that sealed the deal to sack off all the above and agreed to have a holiday ‘of purpose’.

Relaxing? We can throw that outta the window. Hot? Yes but not because we’re basking. Memorable? Absolutely. Productive? Yes, very much so, coming down to the simple fact that this year’s summer holiday is going to be both an achievement and giving back.

On Saturday the 13th August, Devon and myself are walking coast to coast, from St Bees to Robin Hoods bay, 192 miles in total. With a view to make as much money as possible for a charity that is extremely close to my heart and many others, and most of all, in memory of the legend, that is Victoria Jackson. Who is probably laughing at me right now embarking on this crazy challenge. Then again, Vicky was wild and crazy so game on, bring it on!

Please feel free to support this cause by throwing a few quid (or lots of quids ; ) towards this challenge and help raise funds for this worthy charity.

Blister plasters, love, magic and wonderful wishes
Devon & Lauren
