I couldn’t resist blogging this because I have never been a sports-minded person, I hated team games at school and always hoped for rain on hockey days so that we could do country dancing indoors instead. So I have never had to polish any trophies.
However, earlier this month the annual Great Cumbrian Run took place.

This is basically a half-marathon but there is also a fun run and this year for the first time there was also a team relay class. At almost the last moment my running club decided to enter a team in the relay. This was probably in part a result of our successful trip to Edinburgh in April.
Debbie, Phil and I had run at Edinburgh but this time we were joined by Dougie, a recent recruit to the club, who is very young (undergraduate) and very fast: he ran his stage of more than three miles in a few seconds over 17 minutes! As a result we won 🙂 and brought this home:
This weekend it became my turn to have it gracing my home, before it goes to the club trophy cabinet 🙂
(Sadly the support team failed to attend this event – his devotion to duty is really slipping – and although lots of press photos were taken none of them made it into the paper, so I cannot include a team photo. And no cake was involved at all.)
Would it be wrong to make up for the shortage of cake by using the trophy as a mould for jelly ❓
I’m pretty sure I can get some jelly from the garage that features in the other blog :yum:
That wouldn’t work – these cups tend not to be watertight.
Do you speak from jelly related experience ❓
Fortunately I haven’t had time to try it yet!
Fantastic effort – well done!
