Random thoughts and photos of my journey through life…
Day three of my challenge coincided with my afternoon volunteering in a local school helping children with reading.
The sunny afternoon inspired me to walk ‘the long way’ home. Along the way I encountered a wonderful piece of artwork that was not there when I last walked that pathway.

VE Day in 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.
Thursday 8th May 2025 will mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. This momentous event will be commemorated nationally on Victory in Europe Day (8th May 2025).
I have started the challenge early so that the completion medal arrives in plenty of time for the 80th anniversary. I aim to complete the challenge of 80km (50 miles) from the 18th Mar – 4th Apr 2025. The live tracking map shows me walking the distance along the Normandie beaches.
The medal is double sided with the gold chrome star on the front which along with the ribbon is a faithful recreation of the ‘1939-1945 Star’ that was awarded to all in operational service during the Second World War. The reverse of the medal carries the 80th anniversary logo.

The Malagasy Giant Chameleon is native to the island of Madagascar, off the coast of Africa.
They are the largest chameleon in length and the secon heaviset in weight. Although their typical diet is insects their large size also enables them to eat small birds and reptiles.
Chamelons are famous for changing colour. However, this colour change is used more for temperature regulation and social signalling than camouflage.

…Pitcher Plant
They are unique, in that they have specialised leaves called cups. These cups hold digestive enzymes which allow them to consume flies and other invertebrates.
