A weather block : My Actifit Report Card: July 16 2026
While the heatwave continues here, albeit a little cooler, life has to carry on regardless. We have a run of northerly winds due to a high pressure area just to the west of the uk. Even though it is summer

Busy Tuesday : My Actifit Report Card: July 14 2026
Today was supposed to be a day to recover from yesterday's ride but with a busy family life it can be difficult to do so! 😫. So, with school runs and shopping to do, the step count goes up and up. 🤣.

A morning cycle ride to beat the heat! : My Actifit Report Card: July 13 2026
The main problem right now if you're trying to keep fit is avoiding the hottest part of the day which is usually after noon. I decided to get out as early as possible this morning for a mountain bike ride.

The oak knopper gall : My Actifit Report Card: July 12 2026
During a morning walk to a local park I noticed a strange and unusual formation on a branch of an oak tree. A couple of developing acorns were grotesquely deformed and clearly not normal. I remember as

A walk around a wildlife centre : My Actifit Report Card: July 11 2026
We are lucky to have so many different places for our children to see wildlife. As well as the many public parks, there are nature centres dedicated to looking after injured wild animals and returning

Hot by the coast! : My Actifit Report Card: July 10 2026
It has been hot for days now and it is good to get yourself outside in these conditions. Being indoors can be uncomfortable if you don't have air conditioning like me 😫. One of the best places is of course

Hot water! : My Actifit Report Card: July 9 2026
Even the fountains are now suffering from this heatwave 🤣. This one in Worth Park Gardens is looking a little sad. As you can see, the water pressure has been turned down. Normally this fountain shoots

Mill pond life : My Actifit Report Card: July 7 2026
This current heat wave is great but it brings issues such as drought. The lakes and reservoirs are now getting low. Some areas of the UK have issued hose pipe bans already! Ifield Mill Pond this morning

Together with some family members, I visited Tilgate Nature Centre to view the cranes again which have been sitting on eggs for weeks now. It seems however that the eggs were not fertile so the staff have

A beautiful afternoon in Buchan Park : Actifit Report Card: July 3 2026
We are now on the cusp of another heatwave here in Europe and the UK. It is beginning to warm up day by day now. This afternoon was just right however, and I made the most of it by taking a cycle ride

Cheshire cat is here! : Actifit Report Card: July 2 2026
Garden centres are fascinating places to visit even if you're just browsing, or even just to visit the tea room which most of the centers do have these days. In fact that was the prime reason to visit

A Bugs life! : My Actifit Report Card: July 1 2026
These caterpillars are enjoying a munch on some ragweed which I spotted while walking around the grounds of an old castle. I think they are poisonous judging by their colour. The ragweed is also poisonous

Out on a walk today I spotted a rabbit under the cover of some overhanging grass stems. I approached slowly to get these pictures and was surprised how long it stayed there. Inevitably, it hopped off into

As the end of June approaches and therefore the halfway point in the current year, it is good to enjoy this lovely summer weather we are having. It could be so different as has happened in past years that

A walk around Tilgate Walled Garden : My Actifit Report Card: June 28 2026
We had some seriously noisy thunderstorms overnight. The ground is damp today, making it feel a bit humid but less hot. It was good to have some cloud cover as well on our walk around Tilgate Walled gardens.
