A few more clues….
Well as I needed to know what to pack I just had to ask Geoff about my Mystery holiday….
I now know we fly from Luton on Monday at 6am… and will be away a full week.
I think we are going to 2 places one warm one maybe cold…..
Pack walking stuff, walking sandals, maybe boots, jeans, and posh girlie skirt and shoes….
Now the wicked bit only hand luggage so I have to pack very light….
I thought about all my toiletries and nice perfume…. Geoff said don’t pack any buy it when we get there….
Packing always stresses me as I never know what to pack….none of my clothes match… Girlie skirt with walking jacket !!!!!
Everyone is so desperate to find out where I am going… that’s people from work… friends, my boys, my mum and Dad, and people from massage course too.
So I have told them all to read my blog on Monday…..
Tomorrow I will be unbearable at work, then home, pack and off to Cambridge…and another adventure begins.
I have never had a surprise like this before… it feels Fantastic and it goes with out saying that I am bursting with excitement.
Abdomen and front of legs…
Tonight at my massage class after a recap on the arms,neck and chest massage we learnt how to massage the Abdomen.
This massage involved a new technique called Vibrations… its quite a hard move to master and will need lots of practice.
We also got a demonstration on how to massage the front of the legs but had no time to practice this till next week.
The theory this week was about the bones and skeletal system. We also covered the Vertebral column too.
Home work is to start learning the names of all the bones and their different functions….we also have to learn the parts of the vertebral column and how many bones in each section.
We had to change round partners tonight so we get used to working with people we don’t really know and of course no two bodies are the same so its good practice too.
I have a few people now who are willing to let me practice on them…..so my search for a good massage table must begin.
Private lessons….
Due to the powers of the Internet and a comment I made on my Twitter last week, about how I hate not knowing how to use word and publisher….
I found myself at a friends house tonight getting a lesson on just how
to use those 2 programs.
I soon got the hang of it… and did remember a few things from many years ago.
It will certainly help me with my college homework and other things too.
Must be my age but I seem to love learning new things at the moment at one time I would never have been interested.
Many Thanks to Pete for reading my Blog and offering his help 🙂
Gressenhall.
Today I was spoilt for choice , a 10 mile walk by the coast with the Kings Lynn Ramblers, or a 14 mile walk from Gressenhall with the Norwich group.
In the end it was all down to mileage and I took myself off to Gressenhall.
As usual there was a few familiar faces,which is always nice to see, most I had not seen since Geoff was last away.
So we had lots of catching up to do about walking/blogs and massage.
It was a great walk taking us through some lovely Norfolk countryside and villages..We had our lunch outside the church at Brisley in glorious sunshine, before 
making our way back to Gressenhall village.
As usual its no good asking me the route as I was far too busy chatting to take it all in, so a big thank you must go to Richard (that’s the good looking one )for leading the walk and all the others for being such good company.
Worth waiting for….
Finally tonight after weeks of waiting the film Atonement started in Kings Lynn.
So I took myself off to the cinema with a box of tissues.
It was well worth the wait as I really enjoyed the film and it was a good job I took those tissues.
It has a brilliant ending !!!
If you have not already been to see it I can highly recommend it.
Following Geoff (day 18 )
Today’s walk took Geoff to Col de Madam�te the highest point on the GR10, (for Geoff )at 2509m. it started off a glorious day with incredible views to look forward to from the top BUT by the time he got there Visibility was down to 50m so no good views.
Tonight he is here…
in his tent at the end of the lake as Chalet Hotel de l’Oule was closed fot a private party .To make matters worse its raining too, when he rang I could hear the rain 🙁 This will be a good test for his tent and I hope he stays warm and dry.
4 more walking days to go ( I think ) The blue line is how far he has to go…..
Following Geoff (days 15/16/17 )
Geoff is now well on his way to getting to his half way point at Bagneres-de-Luchon.
Day 15 saw him staying at Cauterets , where he hoped to get a massage but had no luck as they were fully booked.
But he did manage to get to an Internet cafe 🙂
After a disturb sleep with people complaining about his snoring he was off on his way to Luz st saveur passing through the picture postcard village of Grust on his way.
Last night saw him in Bareges in a Gite built like a palace..he failed in his attempt to get a massage here too.
