COME FOR ANOTHER WALK WITH ME

Thought I'd show you some of my favourite local places that I have walked in the last year. All within a 15 mile radius of where I live


Manifold Valley, Derbyshire,last week


Goyt Bridge in Derbyshire, walked this October with Trousers, 10 miles in the rain.


Tittesworth Reservoir, Staffordshire, walked in September with my two Wednesday mates


The top of the Roaches, Staffordshire, walked in the spring with Trousers


Dovedale, Derbyshire, walked with Monday evening mate.


Local canal, Staffordshire walked with Kit in the spring


Meerbrook Churchyard, overlooked by the Roaches, Staffordshire. I lived for 10 years half way up this hill.


Knyrpersly Pool, Staffordshire walked in late summer last year


Lud's Church, Staffordshire, walked so many times with anyone who'll walk with me as it is just astonishing!!

I am very lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world, and I didn't really know it till I'd been ill and I did a charity walk a year later, and I suddenly realised what was around me. Now I can't walk enough in these lovely spaces.
I'm really pleased you like them and any of you can come for a walk anytime you want.

Welcome VLiF good to meet you.

Hi Fire Byrd. I've been reading back over your past posts, trying to figure out your story. I love the honest, no holds barred way you write.

I'm looking forward to a very nice Christmas this year with just my son and my grand daughter. I think I won't be missing my former husband being here because for the last two years he didn't add much to the occasion other than anxiety. My only regret is that I'll have to get a shorter tree that I can put up by myself! How will I choose just a few of the ornaments?
