It's a glorious day here. A good opportunity to get out in the garden.
This floral arrangement in a 8inch hoop is now finished. It is how I imagined it to be. I saw a picture of something similar and so put my own spin on it.
Here is a little reminder video for the International Walking Group members. You can check in here and share your triumphs, and your failures with us all. The target for four months was 333 miles. I missed it, I was ten miles short. I promise to make it up during May.
Now it's garden time. Catch ya later. Toodle pip. ilona
From Phyllis.
ReplyDeleteHello there Ilona and fellow walkers, my total for the month of April is 174km (108 miles) so that brings my total for the four months to 618km (385 miles). Hopefully I can keep this up for the rest of the year! Bye for now, Phyllis Brisbane Australia.
Thank you Phyllis. You are making fantastic progress.
DeleteHello Ilona and fellow walkers,
ReplyDelete81 Kilometers done in April. I am enjoying my walks in and around my hometown Dokkum very much! It's always a pleasure, never boring as narture's beauty can't be boring anyhow, anytime, anywhere.
Cheers,
Jeanneke.
Nature's beauty....
DeleteLovely to hear from you, Jeanneke. Consistent as ever, you just keep on going. I see there is an 11 cities walk taking place starting 7th May. You can go from Dokkum to Leeuwarden, 29 kilometers. Are you going to try it? I have been to Leeuwarden many years ago. On the back of my boyfriends Honda Goldwing.
DeleteI didn’t think I’d do very well this month as I had my Mum’s funeral to organise and felt drained and exhausted afterwards. Many days feel like walking through treacle but somehow I’ve kept going. I managed 140 miles so my total to date is 574 miles. I’m glad I’m ahead for now as my Dad isn’t doing well so who knows what might happen. Congratulations on your latest artwork- it’s really lovely.
ReplyDeleteSending positive thoughts your way. I can clearly remember those days and the mental and emotional drain.
DeleteHello theboatgal. You have had a difficult time just lately. I hope things pick up for you. Walking is your therapy, you are going great.
DeleteHello everyone. I logged in 104 miles this month which brings the yearly total to 292. I don't have a specific goal in mind but when I think about how far 292 miles actually is, I am pretty proud of myself. My husband and I visited the quilt show in Paducah Kentucky in April. It was my first time to visit - so much inspiration in one building! Hope everyone has a great May.
ReplyDeleteHello Kay. You are so focussed, you will have no problem completing the challenge. Well done.
DeleteI love your latest creation. It's beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was fun to turn it from a little idea, into reality.
DeleteI'm doing quite well. I think I've managed about 80 miles, not bad with my knee arthritis. I love my walking, whatever the weather!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing very well. Doing something you enjoy makes you want to do it more often. It can become addictive, in a good way.
DeleteLove your latest craft piece. I managed 96 miles this month which makes 374 so far. Looking forward to the better weather and longer evenings.
ReplyDeleteWow, you are the star walker of the month. Well done.
Delete101.74 miles. Lynn Ewing, Pecos, NM USA
ReplyDeleteWell done, Lynn. Keep it up.
Delete339 miles for me! We had some rather cold days, but I like cold more than too warm. I hope I can continue like this.
ReplyDeleteYour work of art is lovely. The things you make are always so colourful, they really bring joy and happyiness.
Hilde in Germany
Fantastic, Hilde. I knew I could rely on you. For me, colour means happiness.
Delete125.5 miles for April. Absolutely lovely artwork!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Steph in Alabama, USA
Hello Steph. Looking good, and I expect you are feeling good. Keep going.
DeleteI am thinking about joining in. I have got some problems with my knees and back, but walking more might help.
ReplyDeleteMarian from Almere, Holland
Hello Marian. Start nice and steady, and increase a little day by day. You are not going to be doing a marathon, but every step is a step closer to keeping and staying fit.
DeleteI loved hearing you talking, thanks for that and so cheerful after only being up for a few minutes and you look great.

Hello Beth. Cheerful is my middle name. It's the only way to be.
