For some maybe ……..but not for this particular individual! For a start there’s at least 5 km to be covered by yours truly – okay, so I can kill the proverbial two birds again by dragging Millie along with me ! Trust me, no dragging required – she may be on the wrong side of …

Walking with my hands full…..
Now today’s walk was carefully planned as we were going to watch Ross ( number 2 in our 4 children) play tag rugby for the Yorkshire Roses over 40’s team at 1 pm – but you know too well about the best made plans of mice and men…..indeed they went wayward because to my delight, …
A walk on the moors……
Today’s walk is a favourite of mine – possibly because it always finishes in the Bank View Cafe or as I call it, the Spotty Dog cafe, with a delicious bacon buttie and a cup of coffee. Also because I walk it with the same friend every time ! It takes us around Langsett Reservoir …
Life’s never dull…….
It certainly isn’t ! Today’s walk was supposed to be uneventful…yet before I’d reached my destination I’d heard how an embrocation for piles had melted a hole in the fabric of several pairs of boxer shorts – I mean what on earth does said medication do to the affected body part. My eyes are still …
Perfect planning and all …….
Well Dear Reader – Day 1 of my challenge is complete! Millie and I started our day with a walk with my friend Claire and Millie’s friend Tess ! Over 200 calories used too – might this challenge have additional benefits I wonder ….. not Jane if you pig out on sweet treats after walking …
And she’s ( nearly) off……..
You may well ask “ off what?” – but we won’t go there just yet! Her rocker maybe one answer 🙄 however that’s not what I mean ! What I need to tell you, is that tomorrow is Day 1 of my walking challenge! A 70% chance of rain …. now to quote Alfred Wainwright …
Let’s go back to the beginning……
I do hope I’ve not shocked you Dear Reader ……after all, you don’t normally hear from me ( despite my own determination to continue the blog on a regular basis 🙄🙄) unless I’m off on one of my Camino journeys somewhere in Spain, and in case you’re wondering …I am not ! As it happens …
The humble toilet ……or whatever you choose to call it !
Now I know this may seem a rather strange topic for a blog …. and yes some of you will be saying “ The What? Has she finally lost it – her blogs occasionally contain something amusing – where is she going to find anything amusing in the toilet ? Think I’ll give this one …

Ready, steady ( be sure to read the manual)….cook!
How quickly things can change …until ten days ago this blog was going to be some observations during my travels on the common lavatory …….but not any more ( you’ll have to wait for that one Dear Reader!!!) Now I know what you’re wondering ….what happened ten days ago to change my mind ? Well …

And now the end is near …..well almost!
Let down again Dear Reader …I apologise ……yesterday came and went I’m afraid , courtesy of a rather nasty cough/cold caught whilst on our Camino! Where on earth it came from I cannot be certain , but my money is on the pilgrim walking into Finisterre as we were walking out. He carried his walking …
