Challenge time again! So this year me and Joe are going to run the 15K tough mudder challenge in Skipton on Saturday the 25th July. We’re doing it to help the RSPCA Halifax and Huddersfield branch raise funds for their new facility so they can help even more animals!
It’s a big challenge as I haven’t been ‘fit’ for a long time, (ahem, dad bod..) so I’ve got a solid 10 week training schedule ahead of me!
Here’s the link to the donations page, anything, no matter how small is greatly appreciated! We’ll keep you updated!

So tonight’s episode I’m really excited for as it tells us the tale of Fenella, the Holmfirth tiger. A local legend which I find absolutely fascinating!!! Thank you so much to Rosamund for sharing your family history with us and I’m excited to share it with you all. Who’d have thought it, a tiger in Yorkshire! Incredible. 😲🐅😎🐯
