This week started with Picture News, where we saw images and videos of a church in Sweden being moved 5km down the road on wheels! We discussed why they had chosen to move it, rather than just knock it down and rebuild, which got us thinking about whether we would like to 'move our house' when we…

As we have been doing all our couch to 5k training and finding some days really difficult we thought we could all do with a reminder and some inspiration to keep our training going.

We had a fun day out in Whalley on Tuesday, this was a revisit of a previous trip that we all enjoyed so much.

We then made use of the…
