7/7 Ten Years On

7/7 - Ten years ago today.

I pushed my way past other commuters to make sure I got the last seat on the train to work. I felt 'smug' satisfaction about that! A few minutes later as the train was about to enter Edgware Rd tube station everything went black, there was a huge whooshing sound and the train felt as if it was about to derail. I felt as if these were my last moments of my life... After the dust had settled - there was a moment of silence, which very soon became screams, pain and anguish.

I had no idea at that time there had been a terrorist attack with the bomb exploding just metres away from my carriage (I was sitting just behind the driver). One of the first explanations given by the authorities was that a 'power surge' had occurred - who could have imagined what was about to unfurl on that day?

Even after ten years on it just seems like yesterday. It is an episode I will never forget - but I will also never take for granted every moment of life that I have remaining and the wonderful experiences I have cherished since then.

In memory of those who were killed and injured on that horrific day. 7/7. I'm lucky to be here!

"I knew there was a better and more human way to be moving than what I was previously doing. I wasn't enjoying it I was just "doing" it. I looked strong but I wasn't....ENTER Darryl Edwards and his Paleo Fitness book:) Easy to read, easy to implement and more importantly something for all the family.

The movements are clear, simple, effective and beautifully challenging. Darryl's never far away if you need virtual assistance and the groups that run on Darryl's fb page are worth their weight in gold. I have reconnected with my inner human, rediscovered childlike enjoyment and bonded with my kids over the movements that come so naturally to them plus I'm stronger and more agile than I was in my twenties!!! Grab this opportunity with both of your paws, this book will open doors.

Thank you Darryl!"
