Three hours and 10km walking this morning, testing out my foot to see if it’s doing ok, whether the osteo helped…. Through the town… Into the fields Through the rain The weather forecast had predicted 85% chance of rain. Just as I was thinking their percentage was too high… So I did get wet. The […]
A different kind of blog today. You might want to just listen if you suffer motion sickness! I walked 8.5 km and am feeling surprisingly tired tonight. After this, I saw lots more butterflies fluttering and fighting determined in their indeterminacy, I disturbed pigeons and pheasants feeding in the fields, I heard the beating of […]

Day 13 and I have definitely found some swing in my step. It’s true, 15 km is not very far and it’s true, having my husband come along with me after lunch made the walk go by super fast and it’s true, tomorrow is a whole other story… But it’s good to feel I have […]
