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.
Good Evening everyone,
Trying to catch up on all these lovely posts, the photos are so beautiful - I so wished I lived by the seaside (I feel a song coming on haha).
A few mentions if I may:-
Jacmatholmad - Thank you for your kind words about the Fox. That house, well mansion looks amazing, I reckon from where the photo was taken, we should get a boat load of us together, sale across and go visit :)
taralou - Thank so very much for your very kind words and photo - I have saved this to my mobile 'Thank You'. I will be honest when I was reading your post it did make me cry, happy tears though - {{{Thank You}}} I am a lover of every life form, and, if there is a chance I could save anything I would. Of all the life forms that should know better are us humans, of course not all are like this and thankfully people such as everyone on in this Group are the ones that help restore my faith in humankind. You're all pretty amazing :)
ronstar - That secret garden is wonderful, it looks great now, it can only look more amazing had the weeks go by. I think it needs a little secret 'fairy door' adding somewhere :)
- Your photos of the beach are lovely, so many of you are so lucky to live this close to the sea - to walk along the beach, feel the wind on your face (yes I know Happybird hahaha) and the smell :o in the air hahahahah (I better stop this now hahah).
Oww Shimmer, I'm fitting into the category of 'definitely might' get out tomorrow - if not definitely will on Monday :)
- Your baking looks so yummy. I would love to be a lady that can just throw a cake together or an anything - saying that, I'd love to be a lady hahaha. Loving the photos, I still have the beach view as a screen saver on my computer. (will try and attach have tried a few times). It is such an inspiring photograph - Thank You.
- Your walking is brilliant, I am going to try and up my anti - I need to walk further, saying this, I need to loose weight and can't stop eating chocolates and everything that is bad for me (I have given up crisps for Lent - how long will I keep it up for that is the question.
I've even started watching the Winter Olympics :)
To everyone out walking tomorrow - DO IT, just a few steps - saying this, after typing what I just have..... I am going to go out and walk just for 10 minutes - at least I will of made an effort (the reason its not longer, remember my walking is a secret to my family - so don't want to give it away hahaha)
I'm going - its nearly 3'0'clock xxxxxx Nighty Night xxxxx (A.M.)
Hi all
Had a good run today - my daughter dropped a bombshell last night that she intends to move to America and live in an old bus. The boyfriend who has inspired this is flying over soon for a visit and I need to run off my animosity before I meet him!!!! I was looking for calming inspiration today so here is the sky on my way home!
Hope you are all having a lovely day

Oh how totally romantic and guess totally impractical too. Oh the joy of youthful enthusiasm.
My eldest daughter has itchy feet and rarely settles anywhere for long and so many different jobs
The youngest we needed to winkle her out of home aged 26 and she is constant contact with me.
Still we love them whatever and think of the busman's holidays you'll get. Sorry could not resist
Great walk today 4.5 miles of me time. Apart from 10 other people and about the same number of dogs and horses.
I climbed Everest
Leos are not given to exaggeration
Hope the sun is smiling with you and you got a wee walk of 10 mins or 100 mins. But who cares how many mins it's the walk that counts. Or as the lovely Michael Ball would sing - It's the climb

Life is like a boxing match, defeat is declared not when you fall ..... But when you refuse to stand up again ....... So, I get knocked down but I get up again. x
just so you don't feel left out
I had a good tear up to Michael - think I needed it to be honest
