To be honest, I think I'm picking up new triggers each year. I start early in the year now, March or even February if it's a mild winter, so trees are the culprit and last year I had horrendous urticaria for three weeks about now, which could have been triggered by the gorse, there's a lot on my regular walks.<br />The allergies are all connected with the asthma, so I shouldn't moan, I just have to live with it!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089530928216314797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926024504196068369.post-30032090709488971002010-05-30T20:29:03.293+01:002010-05-30T20:29:03.293+01:00I forgot I had Hayfever Alan for a few days up in ...I forgot I had Hayfever Alan for a few days up in Scotland. Makes a nice break from it this time of the Year.

It's so good to meet people for real.<br /><br />And thanks for all the encouragement you give by the way, it really does help.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089530928216314797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926024504196068369.post-16617632180768314662010-05-30T19:21:22.726+01:002010-05-30T19:21:22.726+01:00I totally 'get it' with the heights thing....I totally 'get it' with the heights thing. Don't worry about it though - just carry on 'in' the mountains and not necessarily 'on' the mountains.<br /><br />Having just returned home, the hay fever is back with a vengeance. <br /><br />It was splendid seeing David and you - Let's hope we all get on the walk next year. Thanks for coming - it's great to meet the people behind the blogs.Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926024504196068369.post-15993390189266672032010-05-27T13:17:21.112+01:002010-05-27T13:17:21.112+01:00Thanks Martin, I know you're right, but I must...Thanks Martin, I know you're right, but I must confess it's some of your photographs of fabulous views that's made me want to see them first hand. Some I will, but not many!<br /><br />It would be silly to put myself off by making it a trauma rather than an adventure.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089530928216314797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926024504196068369.post-59059785451809116912010-05-27T12:17:58.900+01:002010-05-27T12:17:58.900+01:00I get hayfever.

The walk is the goal always for me. Summits a bonus. Keep at it.Martin Ryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719332121719827761noreply@blogger.com
