Hello readers, it's that time of the week again, a very mild 7 degrees but damp and murky overhead, no meat to prepare today as we're meeting me dad and sister for lunch. With the click ticking over to a rather late 8:42am I'm off out the back door on another #sundaymorningwalk.




Christmas lights on houses left on overnight or switched on early light my way through the woods.

So nice of the council to clear the leaves off the path, just wish they'd do something about the huge puddle that appears eveytme it rains, it wrecks my nice shoes when we walk to the village for a nice drink.😔

The babbling brook is a raging white water torrent after all the rain recently, I'm sure I saw a canoeist fly past. 

Up Beoley Lane I pound, a pair gulls squawking overhead, there will be more than two waking me up in a few days.😩
Over the brow of the hill I spot a pair of doggers making their way up the hill, as we get closer its non other than Johnny Hodges and Eileen, you may remember them if you went to Cofton /Turves. We have a little chat exchange Christmas greetings then continue on our way.


Making my way back towards Church Hill Centre it's starting to drizzle a little, which is nice and refreshing as I'm sweating in my big coat.

In the back door I stagger, coat off and coffee brewing makes up for the lack of aroma coming from the oven.

If you're celebrating a birthday today have a great day Joshua Forletta the fish boy, pass some cake over the fence!! 

No #sundaymorningwalk next week as I'll be on the road driving back from the seaside.

Until next time readers have a great Sunday and a wonderful Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year.

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...
