Walking back to Happiness

Daughters partner took Henry-pup out but all he wanted to do was to run home!

Well done , soggy knickers not so nice but good to get out! I didn’t get out at all yesterday so was determined to walk before the rain today. Managed marsh and heath walk, as well as taking the dog for her lunchtime outing. It poured after but blue skies are back at the moment, maybe not for long. Shopping next! Hope everyone manages a bit of fresh air today, love to all, HFxx

A little taste of spring....

We were planning to go for a walk but it was pretty awful weather so hubby walked to the safe car park to fetch our car back as we didn't want to leave it in front of our beach house with Ciara raging. He ended up with soggy knickers too !!!

Oh my, the wind chill is a factor! 
hubs had a diabetic clinic appointment at our GP sister practice so I went and walked home from there, 2.2 miles, I was cosy warm except for my face! 

i love silver birch trees!

Hi all

Agree about the wind chill factor moomy, luckily went out in lots of layers plus bobble hat! Love your silver birches, they're probably my favourite trees although I also love oaks. Walked to next town and back with a friend I hadn't seen since October, too much talking so only managed a photo of some snowdrops during the walk. Still blue skies on the short walk home from the station after seeing her to the train...HFxx

Hi HappyFeet1,

the weather station I bought hubs for Christmas actually shows wind chill and it’s 2 degrees below the actual temp that I checked when I got in! It’s now dropped even further....
lovely pics!

Well!

I had a lovely time yesterday with my friends...Gosh it was great to see them and lots of laughs!

but in the evening I had to go out to a Church meeting for new people.I like it,and the people who go,and was determined to get there as couldnt go last week,and also next.Well,I was on the sofa just before I set off,and the wweather forecaster said “we have just heard that in the next 5 minutes it will snow over(whwere I live)”I got quite perturbed,as,on foot and getting over a cold.Still,Nil Desperandum,I set off with my brolly,huge sensible coat,and boots.I thought its only 5 minutes away what can happen?

well between me and them is a huge empty crossroads with wide streets and starngely,no cars.So I set off into the black night, everso determined.and the sleet came down with vigour!My brolly was the first casualty,it blew inside out,and was no use,but I stood by a wall trying to right the convex to convave if you get me,against the wall.Managed that.Then I rounded the corner and crossed the wide street.Easy.Then on reaching the other side,I wondered if I should shelter in a doorway,but,no,Onward and Upward.At that moment a HUGE gust of wind came barrelling down the street I had reached.My brolly hit my face (how dare it?) and as I tried to catch it,my body turned and I felt like my feet were going to leave the ground!!I was facing the wrong way,anyway I was holding my brolly I didnt want it to blow into a passing car,and in that instant I had to think-what can I do?I was barrelling towards an empty cross raods.I imagined myself being lifted up and blown into a surprised car,the blast was so very strong!Anyway,I surprised myself by having presence of mind(unusual for me)and so ran into a lamp post,still clutching my brolly.So there I was wrapped rounf the lamp post,holding on gravely,and cars were passing.I felt so silly!!

anyway...after a while I eventually got to the meeting ...knees,boots,hat SOAKED as the bullets of rain/snow were battering me.
when I eventually dragged my sorry self in,the Vicar said,”Oh I think your brolly has had it!”and listened attentively(as only he does)as I told him about my adventure.He looked everso concerned,but all I felt was a sort of High at having battled the wind and rain.I held my arm up jokingly saying,”I musts get there!”

I discussed the relative science behind it all(he used to be an engineer)with him,as I took off my wet things.We decided it must have been a sort of wind-tunnel effect.I have never been in such a high gale and decided it must have been temporarily over gale force 9...as I read somewhere that is the stregnth to blow a man over.

So...the I said I didnt want to miss it as wasn’t going to be able to go next week,and he said,”oh,there isn’t one next week,,,half term.”

What a crazy experience, Violetsniff!

Todays walk was around Costco, we needed some stuff!

Lovely sunshine HappyFeet1 This is from a week ago...then came the storm. Guess we are expecting more this weekend so minimal walking then but I can do some yoga and utilise Wiifit to do the energetic stuff.  Love the pics of countryside, dog, flowers ... and everything. 

Keep active

Lovely photo, Flossie25

Walked into town (and home again) today to pick up the icing photo, I wasn’t sure if I would get wet (but didn’t!) 

and then drove to choir.....
