Corfe Castle and a world record

Hi everyone, sorry that I have missed a few weeks checking in here but I finally got knocked down by the dreaded virus! I was wondering when it would finally get around to me and now I can tick that one off, at least for a while. It wasn’t that fun but thankfully I am back to myself now, although still having tired days.

I lost my sense of smell for a little while too which was very odd. Luckily, I have it back now, but some things still taste a little odd, like a metallic edge to it. Did anyone else have that, it seems very random to who does and doesn’t have that? So I hope you are all doing ok?

Just before I went down with that we did get a lovely family day out to Corfe Castle, my sister came down to visit and we spent the day chasing the girls around the castle ruins and taking in the incredible view from the castle grounds over the village of Corfe. It’s a special place and feels a little frozen in time, in the best way, as the village has kept it’s quintessential Dorset vibe. Stone cottages and country pubs make it a beautiful chocolate box picturesque place to visit so add it to your list of places to visit if you come down this way.

I wanted to give a shout out to a team of brilliant people down here in Poole this week who were raising money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association. The Sandbaggers Touch Rugby team attempted and succeeded in smashing a World Record for the longest continuous game of touch rugby.

A group of rugby friends who have been playing together on the beach, just for fun for years, decided to do this due to one of their players sadly being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. The previous record had been 33 hours and 33 minutes. Two squads took on the challenge to smash it and with the support of many local businesses and 1000s of locals they managed to smash the record and raise an incredible amount for charity, over £100K!!!!

We went down to watch them break the record and support by buying raffle tickets. Massive well done to all involved, it was incredible to watch the team pull together even though they must have been exhausted. The local support was also really wonderful to see.
