“Well done Dad!”

Watching the world champions race was a close second to watching Harry and Brad…here’s Emma Moffat putting in her best effort for Australia:)

Run, run, run!!

On a stinking hot day a few weeks back Harrison and Will participated in the cross country event at their school.  Grandad, Mummy and Sammy were very glad to be spectators as even just doing that was hard in that heat!
