Training Run/Walk

Just back from 14.6 mile (23.5km) training walk. A local one, so a bit flat, but enjoyable all the same. Both our new boots seem to be shaping up OK, although we’re both feeling the increased weight of the boots towards the end of the walk.

Heather discovered while reading a book or forum or something, that part of the training was knowing when to take on calories to keep ones energy levels at the optimum. We decided therefore, that we needed to practice that too. I might shortly practice drinking a gin & tonic as well!

     We’ve been watching some of the BBC Proms concerts, and last night we watched The London Sinfonia play some music by American composers. While I found the second half of the concert a bit ‘difficult’, Adagio for Strings (Barber) was utterly beautiful. You will probably have heard it. It’s been in all sorts of films…

  • Autumn on the way

    After a day of grey skies and rain yesterday, this morning the sun shone and the sky was blue. I’m keeping my eye on the chestnut tree at the side of Lytham Hall and waiting for it to show its full autumn glory, so there may be more pictures similar to these.

  • Postcard from Crete

    Grandad has sent me another few pictures and a story or two from his holidays. Apparently they had an earthquake a few days ago! Nana and Grandad slept through it of course. They have been exploring Crete by bus. Grandad wanted to hire a car, but Nana wasn’t keen. Heraklion is the capital of Crete…
