July News

July has been a mix of sunshine and showers but we've enjoyed some good days in Hampshire and Cambridgshire visiting Fort Nelson, waiting for butterflies to stay still in Nene Valley Country Park etc. Here are a few photos:

I live in Pooh Bear country so when I saw this I thought I'd include it in this summery blog post!

If I had a ship,
I’d sail my ship,
Through Eastern seas;

I'm also doing well on my Lands End to John O'Groats walk - over 714 miles, with 160 miles to go so I should be done in September, then which challenge to do next??? Pennine Way? Ireland? Scotland? You choose!!
