Last week we broke the Banchory beast!! The  10km 25 obstacle mud extravaganza! I was last over the finish line and skipped 1 obstacle but I was so pleased to have completed it. All of team AKR did an amazing job. I was on a high all of last weekend which positively prepared me for the next challenge I had this week, neurosurgery. Not nearly as muddy as the beast but every bit as tiring! I feel like I’m constantly sleeping since it. Everyday feeling a bit better though which is good.

Finally on the morning of the beast I got my baking bowls out and made a rosehip and cardamom cake with the  gardens rosehips. I wasn’t sure about the taste of it but thankfully my parents loved it and it’s all gone now!
