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.

I may be able to help you with your berries,HappyFeet1

they are not as beautifully colourful ss yours , nor as fullsome and visable as ’s,but their my little berries and I love them...

Thank you Violetsniff, very pretty berries, and the colour is so vibrant! Weather looks good here so hopefully some brighter photos today.
moomy you’re great with your indoor exercise routines, it’s so difficult when your outdoor spaces are full of people not following the distancing rules properly. Round here it’s mostly fine but there are certain routes I avoid, particularly at the weekend.
Love to all, HFxx

At last I have managed to find time between sorting my family for a walk. As you know we are only allowed 1km radius here....no driving to walk.....but it's a beautiful day, warm now and blue sky so I went. The sun was so bright I had to find shade. There were no berries.....just some old man's beard in a ditch but the greens and yellows were vibrant in the sun.

Instead of a walk (although it was dry and mostly sunny) as it was Sunday, I did a good hours yoga today!

the sun came out today and I rushed out and walked down beside the canal and round the basin to the River.I was met by this rather honky goose.He looks like he is going to make a speech!

Lovely photos Lacomtekp, and yes a bossy looking goose Violetsniff! Had a great walk in the sunshine today with a friend. Blue skies with some high clouds, perfect weather really. Trees were my theme today and also saw a secret garden gate for you Violetsniff, never noticed it before although I’ve been past it several times in the last few weeks. Love to all, HFxx
