Sore Feet and A New Start.

What can I say, to say I am worried is an understatement with this governments plans for starting to come out of lock-down here in the UK, all the sacrifices the front liners have made, leaving their families to serve us to save us, I hope it has not all been for nothing.



I know my colleagues, are dumb founded, I believe those that saved my life twice,  I trust them not any government so in my heart it feels wrong....enough now of political views, but not asking anyone to agree these are my views and mine alone.


I come from a strong line of women, I am proud of that and it is that gave me the strength to face awful periods in my life, it doesn't make me hard far from it, I can just disguise it better than most.




Yesterday I walked over 16,500 steps, all in the wrong shoes so feet were  very sore, so a shorter walk maybe today and weather permitting tin pan alley calls again, I have been on parole from it because it was too cold but so need to finish it.



Have now a lodger called Woody  a beautiful black cat his brother Jesse will be joining him shortly, I have wanted a cat for a while, but Mel always said no. I did have my daughters cats living with me for about 6 months, I cried when they left,  so hopefully we bond so you may see a lot of woody in future blogs is that sad..... a sign of things to come, a person who's cat becomes the focus of getting up in the morning..(.Hope not don't let me will you).



Well the walk today that was only going to be a short walk turned out to be I think 13.500 steps, My walking partner Steve has put the app on my new phone, I am not really Techi it just evades me so I am not stressed about not being savvy, but give me a chance to barter for a good deal I am your man RUTHLESS.






We walked into town along to the canal after a pit stop at Tesco's . and passed our old friends place where we have spent many a good night celebrating Weddings, funerals, birthdays, and Christmas's. There have been some good times there and maybe can have a few more again, who knows. We also spent many a happy weeks away in their Villa in Spain good memories, and perhaps a trip their again.





The  Pink building of student accommodation stands out in the Basin where the canal starts and a loan duck isolating bless. Soon the Basin restaurant may well be open again and life of meeting greeting and just enjoying this pleasure will not be taken for granted by all of us.



Viv started her Radiotherapy on Monday, its a 3 wk stint so fingers crossed will start some recovery time waiting with bated breath for our adventures to begin and I will invite you to join us on every step of the Twidow's  memory making life events and maybe we will take these walks together, and remembering that just making a decision to go any where or do anything should be treasured after these times.




Folks the walk today I took pictures of wild flowers that we never notice when in a rush, Steve yesterday found a stone perched in a tree, that maybe a child had left to find , how sweet in this oh so crazy times. We also came across a whole bed of Yellow Iris's I am sure these will look absolutely beautiful and so tempted to pull some up.....well I tried bad I know but these flowers do multiply loads when split. but no  little trow with me,...mmm next time.

Wednesday, not a lot done today, Steve laid the old slabs down, not really bought  new slabs made do with what I had, but its not much as make do, but make the best of what I had and it will look better I'm sure. 



I safe distance my friend, Lynda who had to return back from her place in Marbella, I would have probably have been there now enjoying the sun with Lynda, and Viv. It was  lovely catching up we couldn't do are usual hug and kisses which we always do, I took some plants for her so she can enjoy them whilst marooned back here, normally she would be  over in there, she is really a good dressmaker and she made me some masks they are so sweet. 



Yesterday  cooked home made chips without the frying and chicken sausages again with mushy peas, and I really enjoyed it, think afters  will be jelly and yoghurt and that's going to be sugar free. This attempt at trying to loose some pounds, stems from a video of me dancing on VE day, it was not a pretty sight and not something I can even share, it was a stark wake up call so will try peeps to engage in to some healthy eating habits that I've been ignored with the crips, crap and cake so no more, no more i say, Avanti Satan!

The only lock I need in my life.

As my picture depicts to many locks are around now, the shackles are on us all, so life again revolves around how we are going to cope. I se...
