Website:Albion employees volunteered for a day of nature conservation work at Upper Rissington in February. Invading scrub needed to be cleared in order to protect an important area of flower rich meadow. Gloucester Wildlife Trust kindly loaned various tools for the day’s event and are now keen to hear about an expected increase in orchid numbers in response to the management work.

Our usual ride is a 15 year old Ford Mondeo Estate, which has had more work on it over the years than it’s current worth. I am sure most of us have an old reliable car, filled with the history of family road tips, made visible in the stains on the back seat and the mountain of crumbs in the foot well. So if you do, you can possibly understand that when Hyundai said, ‘take the Tucson for the weekend’ – we flipped.
The beautiful red car, had me at hello. Excitedly, after it was delivered, I phoned Dan who rushed home from work to take it out. We drove around Bristol, fiddling with switches, the sat nav and blue tooth. Heated seats, oh yes please. Pairing the car to my phone? Yep. This car has all the things that our own car doesn’t, all the things that we didn’t know we were missing.
With no plans for the weekend, we wanted to really test it out. I wanted mountains and views, and Dan wanted to just drive, and enjoy the ride. So we opted for the Mendip Hills, local, dramatic and beautiful. To my absolute delight the Mendip moors were shrouded in a low hung fog. We couldn’t see more that 50 metres in front of us. I knew this would be perfect to showcase this vehicle.
Driving through the leafy lanes, we stopped off for a walk, running wild in the fields, getting lost in the fog. The boot of the Tucson was large enough to store all of our muddy boots, the storm kettle, and also big enough for us to sit and enjoy a cuppa afterwards.
Back inside the Tucson, the heated seats both front and rear were a joy. Giggling at our warm bottoms, we drove in comfort and ease through the gloomy moors, and on to our next stop. Cheddar Gorge.
The gorge, soaring cliffs and a steep winding road that is the stuff of a road enthusiasts dream. Both vehicles and road bikes jostle for space on this dramatic stretch of road. The Tucson took it in it’s stride. The sun roof and windows give this SUV panoramic views. The boys marvelled at the cliffs from inside the car, looking up through the huge glass roof.
On to the historic City of Wells, at the tip of the Mendips and the Somerset levels. In search of a good Sunday roast. But sadly nothing was available, so we scooted home, for a home made one instead.
Thank you to Hyundai for letting us loose on your beautiful car. Dan shed a little tear when we had to return it on the Monday. Our Mondeo is NOT the same, smelly old car! Sigh, one day we shall have a beauty like the Tucson!
Ah this looks ace!! I actually drive a Tuscon but a MUCH older model- I do love it though
Cheddar Gorge is one of my favourite places. Love this car- sounds lovely! So lucky xxAn incredible evening spent at a West Kelowna gem, Sweet Peas’ Little Farm with these two. I was excited to do another lifestyle photo session with Brad & Grace. They always involve exploring and a lot of laughter.
Took a road trip with the family down to my hometown Vanderhoof for my sister, Anna’s graduation. It was such a joy to capture this stunning lady as her last chapter of high school ends. 
I must say I am a huge fan of Bottega’s old piano in the trees. It was such a great added piece to this photo session. Grad sessions are always fun. This one in particular, I loved how Dallas got creative with poses… and her style for hair, makeup and dress was amazing!
Looking to book school or graduation photos. I love to throw a creative spin on all my photo sessions. Showing off your personality is important to me. Book your session today.I mentioned task specificity two weeks ago and promised more detail this week. Here goes. Task specificity is a very important training principle, especially when training for a purpose and pursuing a goal, and honoring this principle can help you use it to advantage. It also will help you avoid wasting a lot of time thinking you are accomplishing something of value when, in fact, you are not. Let’s take a look.
Task specificity requires that you fully understand what you are trying to accomplish, and that you choose the most direct route to get you there. As discussed previously, if football practice occurs at 3 p.m., train specifically to be at your best at that time of day. Task specificity also can be applied when acquiring skills associated with a particular task, as well as increasing fitness for a particular event, like running a marathon or swimming 100 meters.
A perfect example of how to violate the principle of task specificity is “monkey rolls.” This is a football agility drill used by football coaches who want their players to be more agile and quicker. Worthy goals, of course, but is practicing monkey rolls a good way to accomplish this? You decide.
Picture three football players lying side by side face down on the turf, each separated by a few feet. When the coach blows his whistle, the player on the far left, number 1, dives over the player in the middle, number 2, who rolls to his left under number 1. Number 1 then keeps going and rolls to his right while number 3 dives over him toward the middle. As the players dive and roll they create a figure-8 in motion, and when it’s done correctly and quickly, it’s neat to watch.
Here’s the problem. The principle of task specificity dictates that your body will bolster nerve pathways to enhance coordination, skill and fluidity that apply to the specific bodily movements you perform in practice. In other words, if you perform lots of monkey rolls in practice, yes, you will gain agility and be quicker, but only when it comes to doing monkey rolls.
In my lifetime of watching countless football games, I cannot recall one time when, after the ball was centered to the quarterback, the offensive linemen began doing monkey rolls. If they did, the opposing defensive linemen would trample them and sack the quarterback, which brings us back to the question: Does it make sense to invest precious team practice time on monkey rolls? The answer is obvious.
So, when it comes to skill acquisition, be certain of your goal, and of exactly what you want to achieve, and then craft your practice sessions to be as closely aligned as possible. Another football example is instructive here.
If the goal is to have an offensive guard (lineman) lead the blocking attack for a running back around the end, his first steps in which he pulls back from the line of scrimmage are critical and may determine if he gets to where he needs to be in time and before the runner. Thus, breaking down the intended task to its basic specific elements and spending time practicing each of them is the way to success. In this example, emphasizing how the lineman should take that first step (foot placement, the best angle to take, stride length, and so on) are critically important task specific requirements that need to be perfected in practice.
When I was young, my football team was pretty bad. We couldn’t block or tackle very well, and we didn’t win many games. But, I can guarantee you this. If there were monkey roll competitions, my team would have easily walked off with the gold medal, because our coach, bless his heart, made sure we were really good at monkey rolls.
Next week I’ll discuss task specificity as it relates to training for fitness.
