21st October 2018

Hello reader's, its that time of the week again. With a leg of lamb prepared and placed in the slow cooker, a large chicken prepared and placed in our new cooker.

 With the temperature a mild 8 degrees and the clock ticking over 7.48am and with a belly full of Guiness I'm out the gate and off on another #sundaymorningwalk /run. 

You may be wondering why 2 roasts today, well we are honoured to finally have the presence of Lord and Lady Fowler of Kinfauns residing over night and her ladyship isn't to keen on chicken hmmph.

Anyway I digress, back to walk, there is a lot of low musty cloud as I make my way to the lake on week 6 of my couch to 5k journey, beautiful blue sky is hiding above the transparent clouds and another beautiful sunny autumnal day in North Worcestershire is forecast.

Autumn is definitely here with the glorious reds and oranges of the leaves on the trees and those falling to the ground, squirrels busy hiding their stashes in preparation of the Arctic blast we are predicted to be having.

A pass a pair of doggers taking a breather on a bench and we nod a good morning as I trot past.

Those brave enough to cross the meadow leave trails behind them on the morning dew and wet foot and paw prints in the pathways.

I bump into a work colleague running towards me so I turn and jog with him for a while until Laura congratulates me on completing my run for the day and tells me to warm down with a brisk 5 min walk.

Making my way back home i walk a different way, through the factory units of South Moons Moat and up onto the bus lane near the TA centre.

Opening the back door a wonderful aroma hits my nostrils, not Lady Fowlers perfume, it's the combination of lamb and almost cooked chicken, hmm food, time for breakfast. 

4.4 miles completed this morning and 586 calories burnt, well and truly losing my All Inclusive belly from our recent holiday in Fuertaventura.

Have a great Sunday everyone especially our wonderful guests creaking the floorboards above my head as they wake from their slumber.

 Be nice to your other half today as its the National Happy Sunday to all baldies.

Until next week

Ta-ra for a bit

Hello readers, it's that time of the week again when I make a piss poor excuse for not entertaining you all with a walk.... Well not today!! Im back😁. I choose a big coat and hat as its been quite chilly of late, with the clock ticking over to 8.34am, a joint of beef prepared and in the oven and with the temperature a mild 5 degrees centigrade I'm out the back door and off on another #sundaymorningwalk. It's not that cold to be fair, a lovely blue sky and the sun coming up over the cow shed, remnants of an overnight frost still on the grass and path as I make my way to the woods. A squirrel runs across my path and I immediately started to hum the theme to Mission Impossible, I bet you do that everytime you see one too.  A few cars pass as I make my onto the main road, I look up and there is not one vapour trail or plane to be seen, disappointing to say the least. The amount of rubbish in the bushes near Mcdoonalds is disgusting I bet its the same near to your ...

Hello again readers, it's that time of the week again, so with a nice bit of beef prepared and placed in the oven, dishwasher full from last nights meal with Gavlar and Jayne and switched on, cup of tea and headache tablets delivered to the hungover gaffer upstairs and with the clock ticking over to 8.05am I'm off out the gate on another #sundaymorningwalk. It's quite mild out again today 9 degrees according to my phone but a slight breeze knocks a couple of degrees off that. I'm sure we will pay for all this mild weather soon.  The first bit of wildlife I see is a little white tiger staring at me I stare back a while before continuing through the woods. The babbling Brook struggling to babble after the lack of rain recently is a sorrowful sight.  A juvenile sparrow patiently waits whilst I capture his image.  I here rustling to my left just after the underpass and I spy a rabbit,  luckily for me it doesn't know I'...

Hello readers, it's that time of the week again this time out on location in the capital city of the abandoned shopping trollies Eastbourne. With the clock ticking over to 7.20am a cup of tea delivered to the gaffer, knees strapped up and running shoes on the temperature a balmy 9 degrees I'm off out the door on another #sundaymorningwalk slash run. I'm into week 8 of my couchto5k journey Laura in my ear instructs me to begin with a brisk 5 min warm up walk before embarking on a 28 min run. The route I've chosen is the cuckoo trail behind our guest house, it's relatively flat compared to my run back home but quite boring as I have to turn at Lottebridge Drive and retrace my steps it turns out 4 times. I really must improve my dietary habits the evening before a run as I don't think beer, a half bottle of house red and a 3 course Italian in Prezzo followed by a birthday glass of Moet (Gaffer's birthday yesterday) back at The Don's mansion is i...
