Hello there!
Just a quick little post to give a final update on my 100 Miles in May for Mind.
Total distance: 150.3 miles - I hit the 100 miles mark at the end of a day's walking in Hawkshead, Cumbria on 21 May.
Total raised: £200.00
Thanks everyone for your support.
Cheerio for now!
Hello there!
This week its another rummage in the ragbag of NaPoWriMo 2020 poems. Enjoy!
When Peas Broke Out
Sausage and mash.
That's what started it.
The menu was a flowchart
designed for maximum efficiency.
And to help procrastinators.
Hello there!
This week's poem is a throwback to NaPoWriMo 2020 and based on a prompt from The Poetry Society (UK).
The Riddle of the Cutlery Drawer
I am an eternal enigma,
well at least simnce humanity first sculpted me.
According to evolution,
my species branched out into two distinct life forms
and spread.
Hello there!
This is one of a number of poems written in 2020 that I'll be sharing over the coming months.
One Last Evening
The bench is damp but there is no feeling of wetness
Senses are fixed on the slow water, rapid birdsong,
Fragrances of the season, anticipating that moment
When bird flits, creature skulks through.
Hello there!
Day 12, and I've now passed the halfway mark. Another 4.9 miles, bringing it up to 52.1 miles in total.
I also saw the first Cuckoo of the year as well.
Now that I'm halfway there, I will be stopping the daily Blog notes for this fundraiser.
This is because my Twitter, Instagram and Flickr feeds are now integrated into the sidebar of this Blog. Please use these to keep up with the latest goings on from the sett.
There will still be regular weekly posts here on Saturday. And I'm still planning to additional content as well.
And of course, I'll let you know when I hit the next milestone in this challenge.
Thanks for all your support so far.
Cheerio for now!
Hello there!
A beautiful morning for today's walk, out along the usual route by the River Great Ouse.
Pleasantly warm and filled with the sounds of various warblers and the occasional Wren.
Highlights were seeing:
All were either too far away or too quick to get a phone photo.
But it was too lovely a morning not to be filled with joy. Spring really feels like it's catching up after a cold April.
And now for the stats...
Edit: Since this was written, I've now added Twitter, Instagram and Flickr to the Blog sidebar.
Hello there!
Been busy hence the lack of Blog updates.
For more regular updates, please allow me on Instagram and Twitter.
(I bet you didn't know that badgers could tweet!)
With ref to the 100 Miles challenge and fundraiser, I'm now up to 43 miles total.
I'm very hopeful that I can get past the halfway mark this week.
Thanks for all your support so far, and normal service should be resumed tomorrow.
As usual, there's a few new pics up on Flickr as well for you to enjoy.
Cheerio for now!
