A Flatlands walk…..

Two years ago this month I met up with a small group of people I had made contact with through the RA forum.

We met at Graffham water for our very first walk, since then we have been meeting up every two or three months.

We always post our walk on the RA forum and have had many people join us for the occasional walk.

Infact this is how I met Geoff, Caroline and Ellee they came to a walk we were doing from Castle Acre.

Little did I know then how much my life was about to change 🙂

This Sunday we shall be meeting at Fulbourn to celebrate our anniversary with a nice 14 mile walk.

If anyone would like to join us your more than welcome too.

Another walking Wednesday…..

Today saw us going up the coast toward Snettisham.

Geoff is leading  a walk for the Simply social ladies,and we were off to check out part of the route and parking…

Took a route from Snettisham village across the fields and through the woods , meeting up with the coast. We then walked to Hunstanton along the coast.

 Along the coast we came across a stranded seal pup that was not very happy, so we stopped off at the sealife center and reported it hoping they would go and rescue the poor thing.

 

From Hunstanton we walked to old Hunstanton, hoping to walk through Hunstanton park but we discovered that its only open to the public on Thursdays……So we followed the road round to Ringstead where we picked up the Peddars way which took us all the way back to Snettisham.

 

A grand total of 30km, walking  time was 5 hours and we just beat the rain…..

Lynn Runners in Top Gear…..

Around 1,520 runners turned out for the Great East Anglia Run on Sunday.

This was the second year for this 10k run.

Not only did local people take part but some famous faces were to be seen too, including Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson

First Woman home was Norfolk’s Jane Clarke who was running in memory of local lad Duncan Gooderson who sadly died at last years race.

I tried to talk my boys into doing this run but no luck this year .

My oldest son did help to Marshall the race, and as there are no buses here on a Sunday that meant a 6 mile bike ride too and from kings Lynn.

An afternoon of Pimms and rounders….

Yesterday Geoff and I spent the afternoon in the beautiful grounds of Newnham College.

Where Kate was celebrating her 21st birthday.

She had a fantastic gift from 14 of her friends….a picture of all their hand prints.

After a lovely picnic with champagne,we had fun playing rounder’s.

Philip spent the afternoon trying to get the girls to promote his Equity Fingerprint on Bebo and My space

A great time was had by all.

Twitter…..What are you Doing ??

Alot of people have asked me what Twitter is…….

Firstly its fun and very addictive….

Loic le meur  blogged  ” If you don’t get Twitter your too old ” 

Twitter is like a message board… where you have friends and followers.

Everytime you post up a message your friends and followers get that message on the net or on their mobile.

So one message can reach many people.

I made the mistake of having all my friends and followers turned on for moblie notifications, it drove me mad my phone never stopped twittering all day and night, remember not everyone is in England so there can be a time difference.

I now just follow my best friends…. and twitter from my mobile when I am away from my pc.

Why not join and add yourself to my  Twitter, its free and so much Fun.

A whole New World

I have been to London today.

Geoff and I went to Internet World at Earls Court.

Which is Europe’s largest business Internet and digital marketing exhibition. A whole new experience for me. ( yes another one )

High light of the day was meeting  Loic Le Meur,  a top french blogger.

His talk on blogging and the future of social software was very interesting.

Funny to hear that many blogger’s use Twitter and wear croc shoes 

 I confess to doing both.

Also met Sam Sethi and Dennis Howlett  another 2 top blogger’s.
