And so it begins… the first Christmas rehearsal of the year 🤦‍♀️

Morning and evening views from my window

Wishing Miss Sanderson good luck today as she proudly plays at Last Post Ceremony at the Menin Gate in Belgium today. #LestWeForget

Thank you Miss Sanderson for laying a wreath, on behalf of BBG, at the Menin Gate this evening. What an incredible privilege to be in Belgium today with the WYFRS Band #LestWeForget

New conductor?

Christmas came to #Slaithwaite tonight - fantastic atmosphere at West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service Slaithwaite Fire Station with WYFRS Band providing some carols while Santa did his job. Jonny the singing firefighter also on hand, and some snow right on cue! 🎅🏻🚒🎺❄️⛄️🎄

Blustery walk with the band fam to wear in the new boots. Sore feet, but I know where to put the blister plasters next time!

My houseguest… it’s been a bumpy road so far- good job he’s cute 🤦‍♀️

I think about my favourite person, my uncle Michael, every day, but today in particular I remember how he could light up a room and make everyone happy simply by being around. I miss him #WDSD2024

Once upon a time, a very long time ago now, about last Friday, Winnie-the-Pooh lived in a forest all by himself under the name of Sanders. (“What does ‘under the name’ mean?” asked Christopher Robin. It means he had the name over the door and he lived under it.”) ~A.A.Milne

A year ago… and today… It’s always good to have a goal!

Thank you, as always, to WYFRS Band Saxophone quartet for helping to create such a lovely atmosphere as our guests arrived at prom last night. Their music has become a BBG prom tradition! #TeamBBG🎶🚒🎷💙🎷💚🎷💙🎷🚒🎶

Day one of the Dales way done ☑️ 44.25 km, 62,221 steps, 9 hours and 22 mins, 1 blister and great company. A good feed and sleep ready for day two tomorrow.

Day 2 of the Dales Way done ☑️ supported heavily by Arnica & Compeed 33.63km, 52,165 steps, 7 hours 34 minutes. More blisters, plenty of bug bites and a tough boggy terrain, made more difficult by shoe choice. Still lovely company 💛. Final day tomorrow. #LifeIsGood

After a brutal 57km final leg in the heat we have finished the Dales Way! 195,662 steps 135 km over three days. Very few toe nails left, several blisters and plenty of nettle rash but a heart full of pride. It may not have been 500 miles but it felt like it!

Very proud of our colleague Miss Sanderson who has played at the Menin Gate in the Remembrance parade today with the WYFRS Band #lestweforget2024

A lovely day spent with family, celebrating my big brother’s 50th. Family is precious 🥰

Done ✅ A huge thank you to everyone who sponsored us, we have collectively raised £1500. And to lovely Tanya and Clare for, as always, agreeing to my crazy challenges! #Trek24 Clare Sanderson Miss Binns
