Christmas in July

 In the coldest place in the state, Stanthorpe,  it was due to be one degree at 7am which is the time that parkrun starts.

We left after work, need catching two trains to meet up, with a couple of stops, it was just over three hours.

Cute air bnb, front two rooms of a house, there was a code to get the key in locked box. Two comfy beds with a/c.

We left for parkrun at 6.30am could have walked, it was quite close.  Arrgh, there was ice on the windscreen! A few minutes with the engine running and heater on soon took care of that.

People started to arrive in all types of Christmas attire,  there were festive socks, hats, skirts even a full Santa suit complete with beard, they were a volunteer.

Artwork had been drawn on the paths


There was a snow machine

Getting our hot chocolate after the first lap.

They even had the words to the twelve days of Christmas written on the path but changed to fit in with parkrun. 

I remember the last two, it was two smelly socks and then one more parkrun completed.

A fun morning.
