Only 4 Weeks To Go

Thank goodness. I’m bored with training. I’m bored reading forums(a). I’m bored with guide books. I WANT TO GO…….. NOW!!!!!!
Out tomorrow on the 14 mile Burscough Loop with a full pack but no hills ‘cos the Lancashire plain is like that. You know……. plain. We were hoping to do High Cup Nick, which I will do this year, but we could only do that on Sunday due to commitments tomorrow morning, and the forecast for Appleby on Sunday is cold and wet, so we are postponing.
No other news of a Camino related type.
Have to say that the deaths of Victoria Wood and Prince is continuing the loss of artists of incredible genius that started in January. RIP both. Having been a newsagent for more years than I care to remember, the Victoria Wood song with the line ‘beat me on the bottom with my Woman’s Weekly’ has to be one of my all time favourites. It works better because I can remember the little old ladies who used to buy it.

  • Crisis? What Crisis?

    Just watched our Prime Minister’s press conference, strangely not really full of jokes but full of: Truss being decisive, but apparently definitely NOT sacking the Chancellor who has apparently shown his patriotism by resigning. Truss forgetting that the chronic lack of growth in the UK has been presided over by her party since 2010 Truss…

  • Visiting Merrily Watkins Country

    On our way back from visiting family in Worcester, we decided to avoid the M5 and much of the M6 and drive up through a little bit of Herefordshire, and across Shropshire and Cheshire. We aimed to stop in Church Stretton for lunch. Some of you may know that this is the stamping ground of…

My diet is a bit stuck at around 90kg, but the blood sugar seems to be a lot better. I bought myself a monitor after Christmas and it’s been quite interesting watching what happens…
