Laura and I have enjoyed a couple of local walks lately that have been repeats of local walks. We were more focussed on the chatting and lunch than having adventures. We repeated a recent walk at Logie Steading before Christmas, then did a longer walk from my front door before she went on her travels again. Both walks were lovely, despite being somewhat familiar to us.

Mick and Gayle have been for a visit, primarily to introduce Bertie to us. He is very smart and I am quite smitten!
There was walking too, both from my front door. I have taken M&G onto Altyre Estate before, but not since we moved into town. I chose to take them on one of the longer walks that I do from my door, some parts of which they were vaguely familiar with but we had a lovely day and a good news phone call at lunch time, so we were all quite happy.

And it was all lovely!!! Thank you.
It's the "Oh my God! It's only ten weeks to the Challenge!" moment, isn't it.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently a few miles behind my three miles a day target for the New Year to the Challenge, so am putting in a concerted effort to get back to plan. 40 miles last week, and still behind!
I do like your third picture.
:-)
It is indeed only 10 weeks...although I do have a fairly major distraction next Thursday...
ReplyDeleteMy walking is going well. I have fallen behind by a few miles today as I have a cold that I *must* get rid of, but I've totalled roughly 120 miles a month so far 😊
Thank you! ☺
I hope Thursday goes well for you, Missy.
ReplyDeleteA HUNDRED AND TWENTY MILES A MONTH????
Good Lord...
I want to be as fit as possible before my enforced rest 😄
ReplyDeleteWe primarily came to see you, you know. Introducing Bertie was a convenient by-product of the visit.
ReplyDeleteIs it my imagination (or wishful thinking) or do my stumpy legs look quite long on that photo of me on the rock?
😆
ReplyDeleteI was sitting on the ground looking up at you, maybe it's just the angle? 😂
Having been gobsmacked at your 120 miles per month, I've just done some sums to find that in the last month I clocked up 142 miles.
ReplyDeleteI blame you.
It's all your fault, raising the bar.
Excellent!
ReplyDeleteBut there's no need to rub it in. Unlikely to reach 5 miles this week...
