    The general plan is to improve my all round fitness. Before my FIL's diagnosis, I was swimming twice a week, 40 lengths in 40 minutes. I always felt so good afterwards.

    wow! thats impressive! Maybe one day Ill be up to that! :)
    Your blog made fascinating reading K, I hope you have a marvellous time and will feel so proud to have done so much for so many by the time you arrive home again! Makes me puff just writing about it! ;)

    Thanks everso much! :) at least I know someone has been reading it and Im not rambling to myself! :rotfl:

    I'm sure you soon will be, you are much younger than me!:D I'm going to go next week, & I expect my time will be much slower as I haven't been for a while. Over Christmas I put on 1/2 a stone, so that we also make me sink.:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Thanks Chris for the link!

    Well done on the swimming!

    Lucky you, have a good weekend rambling! We are planning on going to Stourhead, which is a NT property in a beautiful setting. To walk around the grounds takes a few hours.

    Have a GREAT time rambling and walking girls and really enjoy yourselves! Our youngsters (both married) keep on at hubbie and I to go to Stourhead as they adore it there, but we've never been yet. Still, one of these days, maybe spring when there's a good bird's Chorus to walk along with!

    Have a great weekend.

    Thanks K, you've sold me on it now, though it's not the houses that interest me really, I'd sooner be out with nature than in posh places that I'll never be able to afford. I can afford all the free goings'on that nature gives! Thanks a lot K.
