It was a slow walking day for me on bank holiday monday. No lovely walks just a short shopping trip to the city where I managed to get most of my 10000 steps in.
The reason my walking was slow is that somehow this week I have managed to hurt my back… It played up earlier [...]

A Slow Walking Day
8 Comments CherryPie on May 28th 2019
The last few weeks have presented challenges for me. Getting in a daily walk, even a small walk has been difficult to fit in around the challenges…
Yesterday was one of those days. Mr C and I had to make a journey that takes a couple of hours in order to register the death of [...]

Hodnet Hall in the Sunshine
During the season Hodnet Hall is open every Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday but only three times on Wednesdays. Today was the first of those days and as Hodnet Hall is one of my favourite gardens I couldn’t miss the opportunity.

Winchester – Day Two
