School run today! So a walk down through Worth Park is one option to get there. This is the best route but probably not the quickest but it is always nice to get some fresh air in great surroundings at

Yesterday I walked around the lower part of Goffs Park. So today I decided to walk the top half including the lake. After crossing the railway bridge, and keeping to the tarmac path to avoid the muddy

I already knew it was going to be wet pretty much all day, so I decided to take a walk after breakfast while the rain was just a light drizzle. After walking along the town bypass I entered Goffs Park.

Staying away in hotels is one thing, and it can be a treat or even a thrill, but theres nothing quite like sleeping in your own bed! Travelling is also tiring and more so as we get older, and that is a

After eating a hearty breakfast at our hotel, it was time to hit the road. A short drive to the hospital where we stayed for about six hours! During that time I had the opportunity to take a stroll to

I actually reached the ten thousand steps today! It's not been often these last few months that I have done that. I think I need some inspiration or something! 🤣 I have been travelling again today by

Goffs Park on a sunny morning, but things were about to get very wet again. I had some horrible driving to do in the conditions and in the dark too. I don't like night driving at all but when it is wet

After a short but very nice stay in Ireland, it was time to travel back to the UK. The irish are very welcoming people and we always come home satisfied with our trip there. We left early this morning

Our short visit to Ireland included some nice pitures of a coastal town called Dungarvan. We arrived late in the evening so after a good rest over night we explored the harbour. Much later, we walked into

On the last day of November, we did some last minute shopping and then preparation for travel to Ireland. The flight was late evening so we had plenty of time to get ready. It was raining when we left

This lovely old gnarly tree trunk is situated in one of our parks. It almost looks as if it has been sculpted, as there are many twists in the bark! I love how this has been left and allowed to naturally

For me, quite a busy day according to my @actifit step count! Mostly attained at the shops today where the Queens Square fountain was turned off, so lots of pigeons were looking a bit bemused. 😆 Walking

It's wet again! 🤔 Lots of mud as well. Nice for the ducks but best avoided if possible. 🤣 So, with all this wet stuff around what better than another spot of shopping! I'm not a great fan of shopping

We had glorious sunshine prety much all day long after a frosty start. We left early this morning for an hours drive to Guildford, a cathedral town in Surrey. A pleasant drive in the conditions, so I took

The parks and gardens now look set for winter. Lots of dead wood and leaves laying around. But if you look closer there are signs of life everywhere, for instance new buds gradually appearing for next

It has been a while since I last used my mountain bike. This walking about is great but it doesn't cut the mustard if you want to really keep up a good level of fitness. The only excuse I have is the weather

Another month to go until winter solstice. Thats when daylight hours are at a minimum which heralds the beginning of lengthening daylight hours again. I am always pleased to reach the new year as it gives

The day started out with a frost and clear skies, but soon changed as clouds and rain spread from the southwest again. This is typical of our climate 🙄. One minute clear and dry, the next absolutely tipping

This is ridiculous! The festive season starts too early. No sooner is guy forks night finished, we get xmas shoved in our faces. 😆 I know its marketing and all that but really? This one is Santa's grotto

It remains cold right now but there is a change coming, bringing some slightly milder conditions which inevitably means rain! 😆. So, what better idea than go shopping for a short while and end up in a
