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.
Ooo HappyFeet1!was searching a zoomed in photo for your heron and realised it was the wrong ohoto! ( well I did see a spec,but I think that was from the bread I made earlier)
thankyou...also,what an unusual tree!! I wish I could see a heronI saw one from a river boat in nearby once, but I thought he must be a dummy plastic one he was so still!!
and moomy...I think you should make a mask...but I didn’t have the oomph either, so I asked my sister( in a little voice) and she made me one!
I would warn you , though, that if the cotton is too thick it makes it almost impossible to breathe! And you end up mouth breathing which is worse than not wearing a mask and breathing through your nose , which is a natural filter for germs etc.but not 100%
I have read it is best to use pillow case material or duvet cover material or even t-shirts.yes the thinness means it won’t be as safe... but it will afford you a degree if safety...with a good filter.it has to be cleaned and filter after each use and don’t be tempted to touch it while it is on!
sorry...I bet you knew all of that but just in case someone else is reading ,who doesnt...
made a sort of loaf today which was a complete failure so I turned around determinedly made another and it worked!
Had no idea I was so stubborn!!
(many times thinking...It would be SO much easier to pop out and buy one....)
started reading all about Elvis’s family background..got so into it that I forgot to go out!! Quelle domage!!
still, I have a brilliant book and a loaf of bread for my labours today!!
But I will try and add a photo from one of my walks...hang on...
this is my favourite garden on one of the roads behind me.It has beautiful flowers xx
Good morning......
Is mine the first walk for today. A glorious sun rise I came early before the heat. It's uphill on the way out but luckily a seat at the top. I am amazed at how the crops have grown in a week.( We have been doing a different loop since the deconfinément because it was longer than we were allowed during)
Photos show the blue sky and general vista plus crop growth.
Now for the return leg!
Hope my leg makes it!
Morning all, lovely photos everything is so green at the moment. Well done re the bread Violetsniff, funnily enough I made a loaf too yesterday for the first time! It’s made with bicarbonate of soda as I haven’t been able to get any yeast, in shops or online. Maybe we were baking at the same time! I’ll try to post a photo..... I have to say it’s very dense and seems to weigh a ton, but tastes delicious. Had toast for breakfast in bed today. Hopefully some walking photos later... Happy Sunday to all, HFxx
So sorry but I’m going to make you all jealous now, I have yeast and strong flour, courtesy of our Sugarsmiths shop who, bless her, could see this coming and did bulk orders, spent ages weighing out and bagging up sensible amounts and because she knew I was self isolating, delivers to me once she’s shut the shop.
So my loaf this morning was one cooked in my bread machine overnight (I’ve had a bread machine since they first arrived in the UK, probably a good 25 years ago!) this one is the third and is great! 
needless to say the ‘small’ setting has loaded it in its side!
Hugs xxx
