It's usually a sandwich, maybe a boiled egg or two, a banana, a cereal bar, a handful of sultanas, or a small box of salad, a few cream crackers, and maybe a bar of choccy. I tend to nibble while I walk. I had a big pan of veggie stew to dip into when I got home.

I would go out more often to more places, but I have the responsibility of looking after animals. I have to make arrangements for them, thankfully I have nice friends who will help out but I don't like to put on them too often. I wouldn't put the cats in a cattery, cats hate disruptions to their routines, and I wouldn't put Rocky in a kennel at his age. He was in a prison before he came to me, I couldn't do that to him. One day my time will come when I can do more travelling.

I too had a lovely walk today but not nearly as far as you! I met a friend for lunch and then we had a few hours before we had tickets for something and decided to walk to our transport. It was a gorgeous Fall day - cool and crisp but bright sunshine and all the trees in the city are turning to the most glorious colours so it was a perfect day for a good long walk - even if it was in the city. Probably did about 3 miles and with my wonky knee that wasn't a bad stretch. We went to see the Magna Carta which is on tour over here from Durham Cathedral - it was very interesting and I'm a history buff so it really made my day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-84622563151061969522015-10-23T22:26:38.672+01:002015-10-23T22:26:38.672+01:00Your feet amaze me!
