Today I walked my extended version of the mile walk which is a joy in any season.
The photo collage was auto generated by PhotoShop Elements, it shows scenes from last weeks post shift walk to the meadow.
Photoshop Elements randomly creates collages from my photo catalogue. This collage brought back some happy memories.
I loved receiving these reversible skirts hand packed with a personal note making me feel special. When the parcel arrived I always took time to open it slowly and savour the personal touches that were added to my purchase.
I enjoyed wearing this skirt for the first time during a holiday in Norfolk.

Our next holiday adventure, although still in the planning stage is coming together. We will visit Norwich for a few days where we hope to catch up with friends and also enjoy Mr C’s 60th birthday present from last year. The present is an afternoon seas rather than an afternoon tea.
Our next destination will be a short hop on the train to London where plan to visit the Tower of London and see the ceramic poppies that have been reinstalled in the moat to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of VE Day. After some consideration we have settled on Windsor where the train station is next to a hotel we have previously stayed in.
By now I am sure you are wondering where Stonehenge and my ‘Virtual Challenge’ fits in. I planned to purchase this medal and walk the virtual distance later this year but when Mr C suggested that we visit Stonehenge on the way home from Windsor it made perfect sense to start the 199 mile challenge now.
The virtual walk starts at the Preseli hills in Pembrokeshire, Wales and finishes at Stonehenge in Wiltshire. The Preseli hills are where the huge Blue stone rocks are thought to have originated from.
It will be touch and go for me to reach the virtual distance to Stonehenge before I actually arrive there in person.

Due to shopping a day earlier than usual we hadn’t yet visited our local butcher to purchase the meat to accompany our meal options for the next few days.
This led to ‘Fish Friday’ being ‘Fish Thursday’ and our Saturday curry night become ‘Curry Friday’.
We might be back on track by Sunday 
PS: The curry was delicious

At long last we had the opportunity for ‘Fine Dining’ on the patio.

The weather was glorious on my recent volunteering shift at Attingham Park, perfect weather to explore Ismore Meadow afterwards. The meadow is accessible for a few weeks in summer until the grass is cut for hay by the tenant farmer around mid-July.
As I returned from the meadow some deer treated me with their presence. Such a joy to see.
