I have to be honest, at the start of the new year after the dates were announced, I was unsure if the South West were going to be able to pull off their leg of the TeamHonk 2014 Blogger Relay……….. but suddenly it all came together in the nick of time! Yay!
Cornwall set the bar VERY high starting at Lands End followed by a fun walk with people wearing odd shoes, animal onesie clad folk from Coombe Mill with a quad bike and then some cycling and running in hideous weather conditions (very heavy rain and strong winds) to Devon! Amazing efforts! I was lucky to meet Lara at Bideford on Sunday night when I collected the baton from her which was sodden and wind swept, just like her and her friends who joined her on her fantastic trek across the 2 counties.
Monday morning saw me set off to take the boys to school dressed in a wetsuit, my Sport Relief tee shirt, trainers and silly ski hat
Are you wearing bananas on your head?
asked one of Burton’s school friends!
After a little school run baton relay photo in the car park with my two boys
It was off to meet Team Somerset in Taunton 🙂 
Fellow bloggers Gina (also from Devon – yay there were 2 of us from Team Devon in the end !) otherwise know as Banana Woman and Victoria (a true Team Somserset gal) otherwise known as The Lone Rider met me, Fat Sumo, in Taunton to do the all important handover of the baton.
We also met with the lovely Lauren, otherwise known as https://twitter.com/laurenbigeejit who I have been tweeting with for the past couple of years and she very kindly took our photos 
Lauren then took us to the Tone Fm’s studio where The Lone Ranger made a little public announcement on behalf of Team Honk
We did get a few honks as we waddled our way around Taunton and we also visited the Somerset Gazzette and got featured !
It was a HONK-TASTIC morning and we all had such a laugh and despite never meeting Banana Woman or The Lone Ranger before, we got on so well and it was like we had know each other for ages! That is the thing with blogging, you do not have to have met someone in real life to get along – we are all part of a fantastic and like minded community which makes meet ups easy and fun! I was also over whelmed by all the mentions I had on social media wishing me luck and enjoying my tweets and photos – thank you to everyone who was part of it.
Don’t forget it is not too late to donate some money which you can do here or you can text HONK to 70005 and donate £5. Remember every £1 helps so please help if you are able.
The first ever Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Games take place from Friday 21st to Sunday 23rd March 2014. The public can join the fun and games by running, swimming or cycling their way to raising cash at over a thousand venues around the country, including the landmark events at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
As one of the biggest fundraising events, Sport Relief brings the entire nation together to get active raise cash and change lives. The money raised by the public is spent by Comic Relief to help transform the lives of some of the poorest and most disadvantaged people both at home in the UK and across the world.

[…] Monday 13th It was my turn to pass the Team Honk batton on to Somerset today after collecting it from Cornwall last night, so the boys and I did a mini relay in the school car park this morning. You can read more about what I got up up and see me as a Fat Sumo here […]
You’re brilliant, I love the sumo costume and you’re such a good sport. I wondered if that was Lauren in the photo!
