Autumn Update...Part Five!!!

And there's more...

Wanderings...Off To Europe We Go...With a (nearly) TEENAGER!!!

Well, we made a mistake, and I'll be the first to put up my hand and admit it...we should have asked a friend to come as well.  Sorry Alisha...but you were fairly patient with us/me...probably more patient than me!!

Anyway, we went off on an adventure, to Luxembourge...(somewhere diffrent, we thought!!).

To Camp Kengert..

Plan was to make it as much of an adventure as we could ( being a couple of fairly non-exciting people!)  Go on an overnight ferry, to experience a reasonable trip and a cabin, not to long a drive through Holland & Belgium to Luxembourg. Alisha had her own tent, we had electricity for the first time camping  (gone soft ...)

Anyway...here's another of those lovely Google Photo's Story thingies... you'll pick up on a theme...ice creams, plus the artistic pics taken by the young lady. :)

Our 'Oliday

However....

Think we more than made up for that error by taking her bestie shopping on her birthday :)

Walking....and resumption of #getfitordie lifestyle choice :))

Having been totally embarrassed in the summer by having to buy new clothes for Suzie's 50th & seeing my whale like features in pics...it was obviously time to take charge of my health!!

Running was out of the question (toooo fat !!), so power walking was the option...and I have taken to it like a duck to water !! 

Started off round our local (very local) footpaths - 3 miles or so)..Developed a bit more knowledge of the local bridleways and footpaths and now regularly 'do' 5-6 miles Saturday and Sunday mornings; ritual being go one direction on Saturday, reverse it on Sunday...:)  

Found some aliens at Waterford ...

strange statues on The New River Path...

Lots of strange mushrooms....

I've started to walk further afield...from The New River Path down to Cheshunt,,,

 Along the Fleet with this young lady...

Around London...

with a lush bier...or two :)

Along the Aberdeen coast...

Dad (!) had been there before me...(not...)

until the bridge disappeared!!

Around Sleights////

with my newest, bestest friend :)

An fun filled Easter for us....

It has been traditional for Suzie & Me to make the Easter pilgrimage to Weymouth to camp and contend with wind, rain, ice and, occasionally, sunshine...however this year it was a bit viccy verca...Claire et al came to brave the wilds of Hertfordshire and camp near us  http://www.westmillfarmcampsite.co.uk/.
