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:

Post when you have walked.
Post how many minutes you walked for.
Post how you felt before, during or after. Or not at all.
Post pictures from your walk, but ones that do not point to where you live.
Post inspirational quotes, thoughts or comments.
A simple like of people’s efforts is fine. No need to write an essay unless you feel the need.
On a safety note. Do tell friends, family or the thread when you leave and return safely. Be aware of your personal safety at all times.

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.

Oh, hope that gallop was gentle, LeoLady?! Oh yes new cookers do pong a bit don’t they?! Cooking anything nice? Should I buzz round there? (Especially if it’s cakes or biccies?) if nice, you could always cyber post it!

Just catching up on GBBake Off. It is vegan week and therefore I will head for the kitchen soon and whip up a storm.

OK the freezer and defrost.

Mr Leo is the chef and I tend to cook

Hahaha, I understand the difference! Chef and cook are totally different. I haven’t watched GBBO much since it’s been on C4, have caught it now and then but the adverts irritate me, though I love Prue.

Morning all

Violetsniff he looks lovely! The campsite we are on, the dog here only has 3 legs as one was removed due to cancer. I’ve really taken a shine to him and he manages really well.

Pic from yesterday’s walk in the woods.

Saying hello to all you lovely people. I was thinking, has anyone heard from either ronstar or - they have both been missing for some time. I'm hoping all is well and thinking about you both xxx

I'm hoping this makes sense - only my mind says one thing and my fingers type whatever they like x

Great minds. I was thinking just the same last night

Violetsniff a lady I know, her dog kept licking her leg.She got cross with him and was looking at getting some training for him to stop it. So ...... bet you've guessed. She had cancer in the skin on that leg. He never did need training. She's well and so is he.

Lindsay - no walking as pouring down here
