Good afternoon everyone sincerely hope that you have had a lovely Sunday

 Its been a good weekend on Saturday I went for a walk in Shorne just above Higham on the map and about 15 minutes from home I went to see if progress had spoiled one of my favourite walks and indeed it has its the site of the new Thames crossing which is the third one and its going to be a tunnel under the Thames from Essex to Kent right on my doorstep so to speak.The Medway Towns is rapidly shrinking  at an alarming rate I now know that I have indeed been most fortunate in being born in 1945 and growing up in the 1950's and 60's when life was hard but people were different and happy has everyone had the same absolutely nothing but a sparce diet and a sense of humour to live on (LOL) here are a few images I took along the way.

Good morning everyone have a great Sunday

 Good morning everyone yes I know its only 5am on a Sunday morning and its dark this morning I was going to tell you how I feel this morning but I don't think I shall bother (smile) my plans for to day is just to get through it one day at a time is the way to go, yesterday my walk a new one took me to the Thames and Medway canal it was about 3 miles I struggled a bit with my balance and my feet feeling like rubber we were very lucky that the gate was open to gain entry as you can see by the notice on the gate and crossing the railway line was a little bit scary but cross we did haven't done that for many a year but I always enjoy my walks with my Son Matt and it helps with my confidence if I am honest and no matter how you think you feel just keep smiling my friends.

Good afternoon everyone

 Well its been raining hard since early morning about 4am it started as I had just got up spent all of my life getting up at 4am been retired 16 years now and still can't stop getting up at 4am ,went out with Bella (my furry friend ) in the rain returned to take Susie out but she ran back in doors she doesn't like getting wet (smile)  .I am just about to go out for a walk and its still raining hard but there's something magical about walking in the rain and the reason is solely because I can and it washes away some of life's cobwebs along the way.

Good afternoon everyone yes its another Bonus of a day

 Good afternoon my walk yesterday (Bank Holiday Monday) was a walk to my childhood playground so to speak when there was no traffic no mobile phones and you could  get a doctor's appointment the same day with ease almost just as the T V programme  "Darling buds of May" depicted  a complete and lovely way of life,I think I am feeling a little better every day or as I say about the thickness of a a sheet of tissue paper  that's how it goes I am still convinced that every day really is a Bonus and is a gift to be enjoyed however one feels ,you see to me this small piece of wasteland is all that remains of how the past once was and will remain so I hope for many years(they cannot build on it because it is full of Methane gas) LOL  anyway I digress enjoy what ever you are doing and don't forget keep smiling.

Good afternoon everyone hope you had a good week my friends

 Hello yesterday went for my walk to Coombe point bay still feeling a bit fragile almost vulnerable anyway not being one to wallow (at least not for long ) off I went It was a lovely day matching a truly lovely location blue skies a sandy beach and the best company ,not to sure how long this will last but I am determined to keep walking just as long as I can its very important to yours truly and its free and there's not many things you can say that about (Lol) I think that sometimes I over think things and the optimists of this world (I am one of them) do say that "if you think to much you can forget how to laugh so stop thinking and keep smiling and you will be just fine trust me I'm a philosopher .
