I do most of my running on my own, which I do enjoy but often I have thought how nice it would be to have a group to run with.

Just after Christmas I saw an advert for a six week beginners running course, ran by a running club called the Lynnsport Ladybirds.

Now I know I am not a beginner but I felt sure I could benefit from a course like this.

We are now into our 3rd week and it has to be one of the best things I have ever done.

I am meeting some lovely ladies, getting an extra hours running on top of my usual Wednesday run and I am learning to stretch again 🙂

After the six weeks I am sure I will progress into the Lynnsport Ladybirds group and you never know I may just do the GEAR 10k run..…

This week we even got a gift… our very own get active sweat shirt 🙂

It only has one draw back for me, it means another drive into Kings Lynn 🙁

I have a thing about beach huts 🙂

Its the nice bright, happy, colours that attract me too them.

One day I hope to own a fabulous oil painting of some, so I am always on the look out for these kind of paintings.

I have found a few I have really liked but sadly they are always out my price range, but I still enjoy looking 🙂

I came across an artist at the weekend, Katty McMurray , she paints great oil paintings of beach huts.

She has one that I especially like ,its called Across the water , Wells next to sea.

Once again, I will only be looking, but her paintings are so delightful I thought I would share them with you 🙂

Over the years I have collected a great set of traveling clothes.

All light weight and fast drying,which is very important when you only ever take hand hand luggage.

I just had one thing missing and that was a dress for evening wear.

It had to be something I could throw into my ruc-sac but stay smart enough to just pull out and wear.

I wanted my own little black dress BUT the trouble is I just do not ever wear black , I find it a very depressing colour and it effects my mood in the same way 🙁

So Thanks to Geoff this is my new little black dress, all ready to take to Madeira in march 🙂

Was great to catch up with the Cambridge Rambling club on Sunday.

This weeks walk was from Dry Drayton, the fields are very wet and muddy but there are signs that spring is on its way 🙂

A good 14 miles walked but the backs of my legs ached,maybe I should practice what I preach and have a massage

Looking forward to our YHA weekend at the Stour valley Bunkhouse

A weekend of walking a great treat for Valentines 🙂

I am always on the look out for great low fat healthy recipes.

Recently I came across  Antony Worrall Thompson’s GI diet book.

As well as having some great healthy recipes there is also lots of imformation on the benifits of low GI eating.

Last week I made the Fruited tea bread, it was totally delish , although I think its better eaten a few days after making.

The recipe makes 2 loaves which was great for me, as I could take one to Cambridge and leave one here 🙂

For anyone wanting to try this recipe, it can be found  here

When I was knitting the Birthday cake, Isla looked through my book and decided that she would like the doughnut.

She was never going to let me forget about this !

So yesterday I knitted her the Doughnut and she was thrilled to pieces with it.

BUT it needs a friend 🙂

Thanks to my friend Yvette I now have a fab new bag.

Yvette is a fantastic knitter and sewer, do go and have a look at her blog called andsewtoknit.

Yvette also has an Etsy shop where you can buy some of her lovely hand sewn bags.

We were great friends many many years ago then lost touch but last year they found me on face book and now I have seen them twice in 5 months 🙂

Seeing them again was a fantastic start to my holiday.

Another present was beautiful purple wool to knit a Just enough Ruffles scarf.

But before I can start the scarf I still have a sock to knit and a doughnut 🙂

sallykelly.com my new business web site 🙂

Finally I have decided that I shall build up my massage business under sallykelly.com

It was a hard decision for me as everyone knows me as sallyinnorfolk but I feel the time is now right to keep business and pleasure separate.

The clients who I massage in their homes in Cambridge and Ely also found
it confusing and as  am trying to build up my business in many
different areas , I would hate prospective clients to be put off by the sallyinnorfolk title.

So new business cards have been sent for and slowly over the coming months I will use sallykelly.com for my massage.

Although you will always find me @sallyinnorfolk too 🙂
