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.

Sad tale : My Actifit Report Card: June 14 2026
Nature can seem cruel sometimes 😔. We learned today from local environmental staff that one of our swans at Ifield Mill Pond has passed. It is not known how this happened, but tests are being done on

Funny animals : My Actifit Report Card: June 13 2026
Animals can be so funny sometimes. We visited Tilgate Nature Centre again today. The meerkats were having their siesta and were flat out on the sandy ground enjoying the sunshine. We were hoping that the

It was nice to see sunshine return today after a cloudy start. This is set to continue over the weekend and gradually warming up too. 😎. We could do with some proper summer conditions 😀. I have been

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.

We returned to the coastal town of Rottingdean today especially to visit a garden once part of a property in which the famous writer Rudyard Kipling once lived. I was surprised how large the garden area

How about a brisbane? My Actifit Report Card: June 8 2026
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.

An interesting wild flower :My Actifit Report Card: June 7 2026
While out and about today I spotted a familiar wild flower that appears randomly rather like the poppy plant. It is called the evening primrose. The name gives a clue to why it is called this. The flowers

Porridge Pot Alley : Actifit Report Card: June 6 2026
It has been a little less hectic today. We still had a lot of rain though, even more than yesterday. I was out driving quite a lot and the conditions were wet every time I went out. Judging by the weather

A step up! : My Actifit Report Card: June 5 2026
We are lucky to have many public parks in and around our town. All of them are in good condition and kept looking healthy and also attractive enough to want to go back time and time again. Many of the

Busy day and an intriguing plant : My Actifit Report Card: June 4 2026
The day started as yesterday finished. A complete change of plans which sometimes happens when unexpected things happen. But that is good 👍. The extra activity in the form of walking was beneficial! 😁

Rottingdean Pond on a rainy day : My Actifit Report Card: June 3 2026
We knew it was due to rain today but we had a few dry hours in the morning to enjoy so we headed off to a quaint seaside village called Rottingdean, tucked up between the rolling hills of the South Downs.

Roses in bloom : My Actifit Report Card: June 2 2026
The roses are in bloom! They are magnificent but the plants have been spoilt somewhat by passing thunderstorms today. The rain was very heavy and has weighed heavy on the branches. This very bush was the

Beautiful wild flowers : Actifit Report Card: May 31 2026
Wild flowers are a common sight on our verges and in the parks. Like this purple example in my picture which I think is the Common Mallow. It is similar in many ways to another wild plant, the periwinkle,

Only two cygnets remain now : My Actifit Report Card: May 30 2026
Sadly, there are only two cygnets left of the six that hatched a few weeks ago. That is disappointing but we have to remember that nature works the numbers game. Out of a clutch of six, maybe, just maybe

A walk beside the river Wey : My Actifit Report Card: May 29 2026

Nice evening sky : My Actifit Report Card: May 28 2026
Today I didn't venture out very far so activity scores are low again. It has been simply too hot to be out in the sun. The evening was a little cooler and allowed a little walk but only to the corner shop
