Nice pics Pete. Topped by the Ice Cream shot of course. You’ve framed it beautifully. Jealous 😉😁

Longer walk today. To Costa Adeje market the fast route. And back via the Coast. Very sticky on the way back once the Sun got out. May have stopped for an Ice Cream. And cake. And then beverages 🤣
53 miles / 86km walked this week. Taken every opportunity to enjoy the Sun we could 😁

Yesterday's jaunt - a bus ride out to Newbury, and a walk along the Kennet there.
The Marina looking busy with longboats, some getting ready for the season ahead
Ham lock.
First time walking this stretch. Might attempt a bus ride one way and cycle back to Reading along the canal.
Today's walk, again on the Kennet - it's a 10 minute walk to the canal from my mum's house, so do this one a lot whilst here.
Here's the Fobney pumping station - great place to go fishing when we were kids
Usually get as far as here, Southcote lock
I bring my bins for this walk, easy to spot the birds on the still bare trees.
There's even some daffs to boot

Nice walk around the town today..
I had a few things to do in town so, as MrsPete wanted to go to the supermarket, I got a lift in with her and the dog to take her (the 🐶) along the River Nene & Beckets Park whilst she got the shopping. Once back at the car, I headed into town on my own to do my stuff..
Beckets Well..
The lemon cheesecake is unbelievable! 👌
Once the other chores had been completed, I caught the bus back home 🏡
4¾ miles walked in reasonable weather with a bit of sun shining through occasionally.
Deciding I needed a coffee, next stop was my favourite Italian café.

Nothing fancy or scenic…..just one more of my / our standard 5k minimum: daily Morning doggy-walks that I’m aiming to complete every single day of this year.
Sunrise times are exploding forwards - and it’s lovely now to actually see the Sun starting to rise and be out in the light.…😁
After starting cycling ‘proper’ again last year; linked in with getting another dog; 2025 (Health allowing !) should see a reasonably dramatic increase in my ‘activity / exercise’ this year. Just walking wise with the dog - I’ve managed an average of 37.5 miles a week so far this year - and that should get us hitting approx 425 miles by the end of March / first quarter of the Year.
Before too long we should be able to make it to the Beach and back in daylight before work; during the week too. That will make a really lovely start to a working day possible…..
Either way: here’s to be outside in the fresh air and enjoying being alive 👌

10k soon goes when you’re having fun 😳
Set out at 4.55am. With a concerted effort to do a few miles: before arriving on the Beach at Sunrise……
Someone who’s boarded up the old Hospital had a sense of humour 😁
Reform Church at the top of Lowestoft Old High Street:
Bit of Lowestoft old history in an area known as ‘The Triangle’….
Not sure we’ve ever walked these paths. But I read in the local rag they’d been resurfaced. So from up high on the cliff….down to the sea we headed:
Where Macy the inquisitive Cairn Terrier immediately spotted the Ocean….
This poor little fella didn’t make it through the night…..☹️
The Sun always shines on the righteous 😉
And a big (Licky-lips tasty ?) stick got carried most of the way home 😂
Lovely 10k with the mutt 👌

A mother's day walk fir my wife on the Greensand Ridge today; she didn't fancy a Nat Trust- or RHS- destination.
Rather hazy at the top, especially to the south, so opted not to bother ascending the tower. Just a couple of hours pottering, as there were garden tasks to do, and i had to do the roast.
Gorgeous day. Bumble bees, peacock and brimstone butterflies, sunshine, warmth, and a pack of biccies in my bag.

New entrant here... I used to ride around local pathways here a bit but no longer bother much - too many flat tyres and not enough challenge otherwise. Walking is much better. Today's perspective on the local boat launch ramp and jetty.

Turned into a glorious afternoon, so off round my "usual" walking loop from home, out around this peninsula. This is as busy as it gets. :-)

Lovely Sunday stroll with my Pooch. Getting a few miles under the belt inland. In order to then head home along the sea-front….
Top of Lowestofts old High Street:
Down through some new pathways to the sea:
Arty-Farty structure. That didn’t impress the dog 🤣
On old……and very large Buoy. That still didn’t impress the dog 😁
Along part of the Coastal path beside North Lowestofts Caravan Parks:
It was a bit breezy and choppy out to sea there. The waves were breaking over the sea wall. I saw a cyclist coming toward us get full-on, drenched to the bone 😳
Along the Beach we walked. One of us not at all acting our age 😉
Stopping for a drink before the last couple of miles home through the fields….
Time for Breakfast now. That’s both of us !
