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 .

 

 

Good morning everyone have a beautiful day and keep smiling

 Hello all my friends sincerely hope that you are all ok ,at the moment I am floundering a bit but with my bouncability hopefully I will return to being my usual 100%  self  I am still walking and really appreciate my surroundings as I pass them by with my furry friend Bella bless her the image below is at Luddesdown above all the vineyards and the view yes it still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up this is a special place for me as its got a lovely little church  and its almost seems that you can touch the white fluffy clouds and it really does make some of life's problems fade in to minor significance .

Good afternoon everyone its another lovely day as most of them are (smile)

When you think about this it is quite frightening really

 Hello well what happened to this octogenarian on Friday afternoon yes reaching for something out of the cupboard caught my arm and the result a quite a significant skin tear my son dressed and treated it ,saying Dad try seeing the nurse down at your surgery she is a professional so that she can advise us if we are caring for it properly well we changed the dressing yesterday and it looked to us as if it was healing quite nicely,but I thought ring the surgery (Courtview Lodge)sorry the receptionist said after an half an hour wait our nurses no longer do any dressings because of the cost well said I I only want the nurse to check it for me not dress it so June the lovely receptionist said I shall check for you (bless her) she came back and said I am sorry but the answer is no the only place you can go Is the "Medway Hospital" where there is a walk in center no thank you I said and then duly thanked her for trying,I went to my local chemist lovely friendly people for some bandages and lint but the chemist never had any LOL all I can do is to try and treat it myself and hope it gets better.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to another Bonus of a day my friends

 Yes its Saturday and I am still walking across country with my Son Matt (bless him) I always go with him no matter how I feel on the day I guess its that stubborn feeling born within me that says "if you can stand up and walk" then do it while you still can I haven't had that positivity and my usual Bouncability in my step lately but I will find it again of that I am sure,I meet so many lovely people on my walks and they always pass the time of day with me(well most of them do ) lol anyway that's it for today so my friends what ever you do keep smiling from the heart and the rest will follow naturally.

Good evening everyone its been another Bonus of a day

 This morning I went to a place called "Cardiac Hill" in Shorne Country Park to see if I could still climb this hill with a torrid reputation to be honest I didn't feel 100% (its a  chronic condition which rears its ugly head from time to time)but I went anyway you know me I love a challenge ,I last climbed Cardiac Hill 3 years ago when I was a young 78 LOL anyway I went I saw and I conquered  people often asked why do I walk so much and so far and the simple answer is because I still  can and its always been a personal reason for me.

Good afternoon everyone

 Yes its August and I have just turned 81 now and I am still walking the footpaths of Kent with my Son Matt ,Susie(Shi-Tzu) and Bella (Pom-Shi)which now take me across cornfields through apple orchards and a new Kentish landscape its Vineyards  which in my humble opinion are much better than new houses. I love where I live I never tire of waking up to each new day whatever it brings its called having a" zest for life".It seems that the older I get the more important my time becomes as there is less of it left.(LOL)

 

Good afternoon have a lovely day my friends

 This is my River Medway for over 80 years now I have worked on it played on it and thoroughly enjoyed it ,it a beautiful river now crossed by new bridge where the M2 and the Eurostar run across it and an old Rochester bridge this present bridge since 1851 first original bridge built by the Romans in 1115  and yes you can walk over both of them and yes I have done frequently and each time is like walking over for the first time

.

Good evening everyone

 This morning I went for a walk through the apple orchards in Cobham they are just behind the village church and that's where the walk begins.
