Many people, have often told me that I have a great story to tell.

Last week Geoff bought this to my attention….

Have you discovered an unexpected benefit from walking? A glossy
magazine is looking for women between 38 and 55 who have, to appear in
an upcoming feature.
Your experiences could include the inspiration to write a novel or set
up a business, a great friendship, a treasure trove, or love, but must
have happened this century (2000-2009).
If you can help, please contact us at
life_change at go4awalk.com by 12th
March, 2009 with a brief outline and a photo if possible.”

In a moment of madness last week I wrote to them.

Now the magazine concerned has replied wanting to know more about me, which leaves me wondering what I have let myself in for now.go4awalk

Not wanting to give too much away .. but the magazine has a mission…

“To champion grown up women and enrich their lives.
encourages women to make the most of themselves in every aspect of their life
.”
BTWร‚ย  Go4awalk.com is a great walking websiteร‚ย  ๐Ÿ™‚

Lemon cous cous cake

Now here is a strange cake and is an acquired taste but when you just need something to go with a cup of tea….. this does the job and is sin free on a green slimming world day.

6 oz cous couscup 005

juice from 2 lemons

canderal to taste

3 eggs.

Place cous cous in a bowl with lemon juice.

cover with boiling water and allow to soak for a few minutes.

separate the eggs and stir in the yolks.

whisk the whites and fold into mixture.

pour into loaf or cake tin and bake for aprox 30 min’s at 180c.

One for the girls to try at work today ๐Ÿ™‚

My evening walk…..

Quite often on a Sunday especially when Geoff is away, you will find me making a 80 mile round trip to meet a group for a 15 mile or more walk.

I have even been known to do a 100 mile round tripgayton walk

Some people would think this is very excessive but its what keeps me going all week,….the thought of a good walk with company.

Sometimes I over look the fact that I do actually live in a nice village with some lovely walking right from my own door step.

So today we set off from my house and did a 5 mile circular walk, no main road walking just all country lanes and permissive paths.

This distance I am happy to do on my own, so this route will be my evening walk now the evenings are becoming lighter.

I am not saying I will fit it in every night but I hope to do it at least twice a week and have my longer walk on a Sunday too ๐Ÿ™‚

Made for each other…

I don’t drink much alcohol and hardly ever drink on my own, only really enjoying a drink with friends or when out for a meal.cup 001

What I do enjoy is a lovely pot of Assam tea , made with tea leaves, not tea bags.

I have a nice Bodum tea pot just for my favourite brew.

The only thing that could make my tea taste better is by serving it in a nice china mug.

Now, thanks to Geoff I have the perfect china ,white, mug made by Denby.

Some how this makes my Assam tea taste even better ๐Ÿ™‚

What kind of happy are you…

Been a while since i did one of these… and the results are so me.


You Are Affectionate


Your life is full of love and friendship – and you always have more to give.
You have an open heart. You are willing to take that leap and put your faith in people.

You see the good in everyone and everything. You are a very sympathetic person.
The people you love make you very happy. You feel warmly toward those around you.

What Kind of Happy Are You?

Advertising myself…

Apart from on my blog I have never advertised myself anywhere as a massage therapist.

All my clients so far have found me via my blog.

This week I had my first client that came on a recommendation from another client.

Now I have decided to put an advert into my local village magazine.gayton

The trouble is I am finding it hard, getting the right words.

It needs to be brief, clear and to the point.

Stressed then Relax

In the comfort of your own home

With an Indian head massage or

Swedish body massage.

Sunday 1st March..

Todays walk was 14 miles from waterbeach making it a total of 115 miles walked so far this year.

Here are the photos from the walk, which took us to Anglesey Abbey and back through lode… it was a cloudy day but you can tell spring is almost here.
