When so many bad people get media coverage it's easy to begin to think the world is going to hell in a handcart. That's why this is such an encouraging story. Actually it would be encouraging even if the world were in a wonderful state.
Marcus Skeet aka Thehullboy, has just run the length of Britain, from Land's End in Cornwall to John O'Groats in Scotland (837 miles). He's the youngest and first under 18 person to accomplish this. In the process he's raised £110,000 for Mind charity.
His story is much more than that though. It's about his own and his father's battle with mental health issues, and the fight to get out of the darkness into the light. And he only started running a year ago!

I'm sorry to keep going on about them but I love my roses!
Postscript
My plan for peanut chicken stir fry for dinner tonight has been thwarted. I don't have any chicken.

Thank you for posting good news!
Congratulations to the Hullboy.
Don't apologise for featuring your beautiful roses again. You're very pleased with them, and rightly so.
Took me 14 hours and I was on a motorcycle.
always nice to have something "good" in the news isn't it...... an antidote to the usual misery..... sorry you didn't have the ingredients for your stir fry....... i thought about a range of things to eat today but ended up eating too many biscuits..... ended up with some noodles
It’s a good story.
The rose are gorgeous. The Hull Boy did so well!
