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.
Clever purplediva

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
Hip Hip Hip hurray, Happy Birthday
Happy birthday Shimmering Unicorn xx
Look who's all snug after being out all morning. Iv got to go shoppong.
It's a dogs life...!!!!! 
Gentle hugs for you today then.
We used to go back to our old hunting ground - hubby and the kids that is. We said we are off down memory lane. Many years later daughters told us they thought it was an actual road and could never understand which one it was. Aww bless.
My first home no longer exists. NOT my fault honest. Subsidence apparently
Plus this was not my fault either. Someone made me have coffee and I wanted a walk but she said........
We were planning how to spring JammyR from hospital.
And look appropriate socks too.
So off into local town and will walk all the way to my car. Nope I am parking outside of town then walking in

WhatHappened...I was really interested reading your post re Jewellary Quarter...(and )I went there for my engagement ring (about 10 years ago)..but I’m afraid it didnt work out..when he bumped into me in town after my operation(DIEP),he backed off down the road when I started telling him about it....Goodness,thank goodness I didnt marry him!!!*breathes a big sigh of relief!*
and Leolady56...i got all excited today thinking it was Mixed Socks Day...and then I realised it is tomorrow!!Anyway,was brave enough to go to a rather posh store in them!!So my walk today consisted of shopping I’m afraid....xxyes..just seen your post..appropriate socks!!welll done for parking outside and walking into town...
Someone asked me the other day if I could smell the Spring in the air?and it was lovely coz I could todayx
Hi Leolady56 its the same one, in Hockley (Birmingham), I may be biased being a Brummy - there's only one Jewelley Quarter hahaha - plus my grandparents lived and worked there too.
Your brother may well of heard of my Dad (might be a bit too far back though) however, he may well know brother-in-law.
Loving your photos, especially with you in the children's and naughty Nanna's play area :))
Owww Violetsniff it does sound like you had a lucky escape. I do believe in the saying 'things happen for a reason' - I'm guessing this is why it didn't work out with him, you were too good for him and he sounds like he isn't the caring sort, more along the lines of selfish - phewwwww sigh of relief for you.
Confession time - I have not been out walking again today. I can't use any excuse, I could... I didn't have time, it was too cold, I had too much to do etc - but, thats no good, I could of made time, I could of wore extra clothes. So, 'no excuse - just pure laziness'!!!! I must make an effort tomorrow - just 15 minutes 'for me' - I can do this!!
Love to you all xxx
Ps. This always stayed with me from a child.... my Dad used a 'hand drill' to pierce holes in the gold and silver - no power to work it, it worked from a piece of string attached around the drill. I'm not sure how many use these now-a-day's - it always fascinated me. I have just found a photo on the internet that I'd like to share with you (its of the archimedes drill, below is the 'peg' on the jewellers work bench and the modern day 'tin' to catch the filings and for the tools).
I'll get me coat haha - xxx
