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:

  1. Post when you have walked.
  2. Post how many minutes you walked for.
  3. Post how you felt before, during or after. Or not at all.
  4. Post pictures from your walk, but ones that do not point to where you live.
  5. Post inspirational quotes, thoughts or comments.
  6. A simple like of people’s efforts is fine. No need to write an essay unless you feel the need.
  7. 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.

  • Yes, Brocante is a mix of car boot and antiques fair. You don't tend to get market stalls, more second hand linens and household clothes then household bric à brac and proper antiques with everything in between. This one was particularly large. Every street in the village plus the village square and car parks hence the steps! Even then we didn't look at everything.......

    Morning everyone. I was doing some weeding yesterday and this little chap hopped out of the border and sat with me for a bit!

  • Ahhhh! Hope he’s ok ! 
    swift walk today to dentist and back, no pics as I was in a hurry.

    since then I’ve walked up and down the lawn (mowing) and bent to tie in new fruit shoots for next year, all seem to be doing very well. Now it’s a rest for my back and some lunch!
