Well. Welcome to this thread.
You may be surprised why it is here or happy it is here. Then again: ‘You have got to be joking! Do you know what is wrong with me?’ may be your response.
This all began on the Extreme Fatigue thread. On there several people wanted and needed inspiration/incentive to get out and walk. Many people see the benefits of it in their life and to help on this; mad journey, train ride, rollercoaster ride and other positively rude words journey called Breast Cancer.
It is not a thread created to make anyone feel less than they do at present. It is not a thread that will set people against one another. Being competitive with yourself or a simple challenge to yourself is the point, but not a race against others is a key premis.
The idea is that you can do any of these or none:
Well here goes.
Either it will grow and blossom, with lots of lovely people benefiting. Or I will have egg all over my face – not for the first time in my chequered life and career.
Leolady – may be adding in the odd gallop to my walks.
PS if you don't like us don't be cruel.
Lovely garden and walking pics. Have been out walking this morning... hot.
“ The only constant thing in life is change “
Thankyou,HappyFeet1and I hope you all didn’t get too hot yesterday…
my old Nursing Sister came to take me out,we have been friends ever since I had cancer and came with me to some appointments…then asked if I would like to join Knit and Natter.(Nurses are born ,not made )
so we eventually came to a bridge and canal walk (after getting a little lost)and it was the most perfect walk,through a glade of trees overhanging the duck and her ducklings and a gorgeous meal after.
I ma the one in the silly specs…hmmmmm….
sorry she got me to do a silly pose and then she danced in the hayfield like the girl in only the crumbliest flakiest chocolate ! Xx
I did stroll a bit in the Zoo today, enjoyed seeing this wee fella, such a poser!

Gorgeous penguin poser moomy! And lovely photos of you Violetsniff! Another animal photo from my dog walk today - cheeky goat - and horses from a morning walk with friend (which also very happily involved a coffee and scone opportunity). Love to all, HFxx
Not wanting to be a grump,but I totally am with you with going out in the pouring rain.
in recent years I have had some things which have had to go back.In the olden days there would at least have been an apology.But not when I took my rather expensive earrings back to a store which will remain nameless.I couldn’t get them in my ear even after an hour of trying.So after researching,found that they were the most inexpensive,and walked back to the shop.It was cold and extremely windy,an unpleasant walk.
When I told the assistant she went straight to her machine to give me a refund.I said they just didn’t work.When I left I am sure she and the other young assistant were moaning about me.
The other recent thing was I went into a well known store for a new fridge.I had done research etc but needed the assistant’s help.She sat me down and went thro her Ipad,and I saw the one I wanted.I was just asking her some salient questions and a young child was standing there screaming next to me.So that I couldn’t even hear the assistant.The oarents we’re there and soon their two small children were running round the store screaming and laughing.The parents were immune and just stood behind my assistant waiting for her help.There were other assistants in the shop.This went on for at least 20 minutes and I said to the assistant that I was finding it hard.She then went to get another assistant for them.I don’t understand what has happened to customer care.
Is it just me?
On the the other hand there are assistants of all ages who are extremely good and helpful and understanding,when you go shopping.
sorry just had to have a rant.
now I will try again to put a nice photo on
Nice photos people.
Sorry about your unpleasant shop experiences Violetsniff
