Instead, I have vegitated and used the weather, etc. as excuses. As a result my blood pressure and cholesterol are just as high and my weight has increased. So my orders are to get a dog or borrow my neighbours! After I read your blogs on your walks, I am motivated to get out there. I have tried walking by myself but people stop and ask you if you need help. Why is it if you are walking with a dog they pass you by?<br /><br />Keep posting your walks!<br />Joan in Michiganshadypinesqltrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16755180453538893117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-45771964947143290072013-03-01T12:54:58.904+00:002013-03-01T12:54:58.904+00:00Another great walk!

I walk in the more suitable weather and walk alone usually. I had been asked by a friend if she could walk with me in the mornings and I said yes but she is late for everything and the first morning she didn't show up at all and I waited and waited for her. I gave up finally and just went by myself. After that, I told her that I would enjoy her company but that I would leave if she wasn't there on time. So that was the end of that! If I want to go out walking, I don't want to hang around waiting for someone. Thanks for always taking the time to post all the photos of your walks and I hope you do another walk soon.Kearnygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01429493116809940852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-2930701089127146542013-03-01T12:11:59.195+00:002013-03-01T12:11:59.195+00:00Jan here.Your walk looks amazing and impressivley ...Jan here.Your walk looks amazing and impressivley long.The strange man sounds a bit worrying but without really knowing what he was up to,it's hard to judge.I agree that you should always follow your intuition.You obviously know how to react in such situations.It's hard to know if you would until you are confronted with a situation but your confidence and experience must be invaluable.Amazing that the dog walker popped up at just the right time,must have been meant to be!As for your ideal walking companion,I think I know who he was.Hope little Rocky is okay.<br />Spring is in the air for sure,bet you're busy planning lots more walks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-54824156115945714292013-03-01T08:59:44.776+00:002013-03-01T08:59:44.776+00:00Hi V.

Like the others who have already posted, I feel I am tagging along. <br /><br />That seven trunk tree is amazing. As are the ducks. How do they balance like that?<br /><br />I am also amazed at your ability to walk for so many hours. Walks here in Australia are very different. We don't have rights of way and we don't have anything in the same way as you - walking along a marked path to a different village. I would love to live in your area for a year and experience your seasons and do some of your walks.<br /><br />As that is not likely to happen, I thank you for sharing and ask that you keep posting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-88917878304505140602013-03-01T01:01:50.998+00:002013-03-01T01:01:50.998+00:00Thank you for sharing photos of your walk.

I too walk by myself most of the time and I thoroughly enjoy my nature walks, just as you do. I am glad you didn't let the strange man ruin your day. You handled it very well and went on about your lovely walk when you felt it was safe. Take care, keep posting your wonderful photos and fabulous life on a pension!

It didn't spoil my walk in the slightest. <br /><br />Why don't I walk with a friend? You tell me where I can find someone who will drop everything at eight o clock in the morning, to come out for a fifteen mile walk? In the summer it will be further because the days will be longer. Do you know anyone who will walk for 10 hours only taking short breaks, because I don't. I took a forty something man friend out with me once, we did 16 miles, nearly bloody killed him, ha ha. I don't want to walk with someone who does not have the same fitness levels as me, moaning that they are tired and want to stop. <br /><br />If I can find an easy going person with no baggage, who has the same outlook on life as me, the same love of the countryside, who is not tied to a job or a family, who is a free spirit and can take off whenever he/she pleases, then I will walk with them.

I am wondering why you don't walk with a friend? I go out with a friend, we're both quiet people who don't feel the need for chat all the time, it's nice to be quiet to enjoy our surroundings. Much safer than being alone in lonely places. The man must have been odd, if he was lost he would have asked for directions.
