In June I planted a crown of rhubarb in my garden.
After following strict instructions from my Dad, 4 weeks later it looked like this…
When I returned from my walking holiday in Les Gets it had more than doubled in size so it was time to cut and use the rhubarb.
Not bad for 10 weeks growth, so hoping it will do wonders next year.
I made Geoff a rhubarb and ginger crumble..
As most of my regular readers will know,I have just finished a Swedish massage course at Kings Lynn College.
I attended this course once a week for a whole year , made some nice friends and most of all I really really enjoyed the course.
Now I am trying to build up a mobile business, here and in Cambridge, it will take time but I am happy with my progress so far.
The big question was ??…. what would I do with myself now college had finished.
Well today,thanks to Geoff, I just solved that problem by booking myself a place on the Indian head massage course
Its a shorter course ,of only 18 weeks but I know I will just love it.
Roll on September… 🙂
You Live in the Present
You take things one day at a time.
And it turns out, that’s a pretty great way to live.
You aren’t consumed by the past, and you’re aren’t obsessed with the future.
You live in the now, and you enjoy each moment.
While most people don’t live in the present enough, make sure you don’t live in it too much.
It would be a mistake to forget your past or neglect to plan for the future.

First day back to work after my great holiday.
While I was away my store went "live" with the new uniform, so today I got to wear mine for the first time.
Its a huge improvement on the old uniform but then I would say that as I love Red…..

Friday we woke early to perfect weather conditions to do this splendid ridge walk.
So by 7.30am we were on our way in the car to Col de l’Encrenaz, to start our circular walk.
It started with a slow uphill climb to Col Ratti, giving us fantastic views of Mont Blanc as we made our way up.
Suddenly the route changed and the scrambling began, there would be no return from this point so we had to make a decision to go on or not.
There was a very encouraging sign attached to a rock it read " Danger…very dangerous route not fitted with safety devices you walk here at your own risk "
So off we went on our way, it took us a good half hour of scrambling up rocks to get to where the ridge started.
At this point there was a white cross so we stopped for a rest before carrying on over the ridge.
What a ridge it was too, no room for error either as it was quite a drop off both sides.
The weather was certainly on our side as if it had been windy or wet this would have been almost impossible to do.
The Scramble down was not as tough but still had a few scary moments.
There have been a few deaths on this mountain walk but we all escaped to tell the story…. would we do it again…… maybe not !
But it was the best walk of the holiday……and we can now see why its called the rock of hell !
On thursday after a trip to Les Gorges du pont du Diable other wise known as The devil’s bridge gorges…. I enjoyed a swim in lake Geneva.
.While at theGorges we found out why most of the water in the lakes is such a wonderful green colour. This is due to a proliferation of a microscopic moss which remains in suspension.
