I had been worried that I'd left it too late after reading your post the other day however I'd picked 500 g of blackberries within 10 m of the gate. The field is a 5 minute walk from the town centre and I can't believe that it hasn't been "discovered". Perhaps the people in my home town prefer their blackberries from WR :huh:Greying_Pilgrim wrote: »Watcha gonna make with these precious eggs MWC????

700 miles is one heck of a hike :T It takes up so much time too
What will you do now? Do you plan to continue?
What were the personal benefits?
I have no doubt - not being in any way medically trained, you understand - that it will have done you a power of good both mentally and physically.
Well done - that is the second one from me to you in a week (if you want to see the first you'll have to go hunting)0 -
:wave: Mr GG
Thank you for my "well dones"
The benefits were: I lost 13 lbs, I feel fitter, I'm sleeping better at night and I'm less tired mid-afternoon at work
I'm still wearing my pedometer and plan to continue with daily lunchtime walks around the park, evening walks 2-3 times/week and a longer walk at the weekend. Minimum 10,000 steps/day.

2 loads of laundry done and pegged out - another 2 to do
Gingered rhubarb & fig chutney made :T I'll finish off the second batch of spiced crab apple jelly later.
I never made it to the garden centre yesterday so will go today
I also need to pack as I'm off on a 2-day business trip to Germany at 05:00 tomorrow
Hope everyone has a lovely day
