Duck bath : My Actifit Report Card: June 23 2026
These hot days can be uncomfortable if you're not prepared. Having some protection from the sun is essential, such as wearing a hat like I do, as I dont have much hair these days 😂. The fountains in the

A difficult time for fish :My Actifit Report Card: June 22 2026
During an afternoon walk in Goffs Park today I noticed that the fish were very close to the surface and very sluggish. It was hot today, close to 30 °C and I think this is the reason for this as oxygen

Geese galore! : My Actifit Report Card: June 21 2026
My goodness! I couldn't believe the numbers of canada geese on the lake at Ifield Mill Pond. There were more on the other side of the boardwalk where we walked. A lot of them are this years goslings now

It is getting hot again! : My Actifit Report Card: June 17 2026
I'm not sure how this man got stuck in this wall, and he looks a little uncomfortable too! 🤣. A very odd thing to find attached to a wall. It was next to a gate so maybe some kind of gate keeper. The

Goffs Park : My Actifit Report Card: June 16 2026
Goffs Park is one of our many town public parks. This park is also very close to the town centre, being just a stones throw from commercial areas. I took a quick walk through today on a 30 minute circuit.

Target : Ten K steps : My Actifit Report Card: June 11 2026
10k steps is a good target for a daily routine. It can be achieved easily with just a couple of ten minute walks, plus other general activities for the day like a little shopping or something similar.

How about another visit to a garden centre? Marvelous! As long as it has a decent coffee shop. 🤣 The one we visited did in fact have a very good tea room. Coolings garden centre in Wych Cross is huge.
