I walked fourteen miles last week. Not every day or in one hike. I do it mainly for my back. I hurt my back many moons ago doing somebody a favour. Never never try to move a double wardrobe down stairs. They weigh 500 Kgs and do a great job at crushing people. Any way I have the war wounds and the Irish inclement weather is great for arthritis. So to stop the back giving me jip I go on my walking gymnasium.
It's good to get off the country roads and the cars and lorries whizzing past me. Sometimes I listen to Spotify to my favourite Rock bands like Kansas, brass bands or The Beautiful South. Yep my music taste is very eclectic.
Other times I don't listen and just take in the surroundings. I reckon God would make a very good artist because he did an excellent job making Bantry Bay.
Some times I get down with the weather and things on the news and then I go for a walk and I fall back in love with rural Ireland. I am lucky to live in such a beautiful place. I just wish it didn't rain so much!

However far I travel, I am alwats grateful when I return home that we live in such a beautiful place. We must be thankful for our rain. Some places haven't seen any in several years!
ReplyDeleteoops, that should read always....
DeleteThanks for your comment JayCee. I am an outside person and I hate when I can't tend the veg plot or now the lawn. My dream is to live somewhere warm in winter and Ireland or the West of England in Summer. Dorset or Herefordshire would be great.
ReplyDelete..mow the lawn even.
ReplyDeleteI think what falls on Ireland runs off into the Irish Sea then falls again on us in West Wales. People in the south-east of England have no idea!!! I'm married to a Londoner, and, while he doesn't complain about the weather here, he's not learnt the knack of doing outdoor/dry weather jobs while it's actually dry. The rain still takes him by surprise!
ReplyDeleteYep. Thanks the veg artist. West Wales is a lovely place. The south east and east of England seem to know what a summer is. Storm Sebastian is on its way tonight. Hope we don't get any power cuts. I get internet withdrawal symptoms. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe weather is sooooo grey and constant drizzle! lol I see no point in doing anything with my hair but plait it. I am into planning like a demon at the moment. I am going to hibernate for January and February. I might go the whole hog and even order my food to be delivered from the supermarket. I dont plan on going anywhere out of the town and if I do, Posh Boy will be driving. I want to see plockton (where Hamish MacBeth was filmed) that could be a long weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi Sol. Hope you're well. Spent yesterday reading blogs and watching Crocodile Dundee, Dragons Den and Guy Martin in Japan. My cuttings and potatoes are growing well in the polytunnel. Trying to find some part time work and hoping for another Algarve winter or spring holiday. Seven days in the sun would be wonderful. Enjoy Plockton.
ReplyDeleteI had a walk yesterday. It went ok until boarding the train when a woman in a hurry flung her suitcase through the train door and it slammed against the back of my foot and caused me to pitch forward and bang my head on the control panel which is full of lights and switches. Fortunately I was wearing my headband and thick shoes which saved me from permanent damage. We must be careful coming and going Dave! People are crazy these days in the cities. A press report said 20% in Vienna need psychological counseling. It’s official then.
ReplyDeleteHope your ok Gwil? I didn't feel safe travelling on trains and the Tube when I went to Canterbury via Stansted and Victoria in August. I suppose commuters get use to it? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI’m enjoying your photos as I can’t get my photos on my own blog . I’m a real computer dummy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gwil. I take them on my mobile phone, then find them in gallery or photos and email to myself, then down load them and go to my blog and web page, go to New post (obviously) click on the photo icon next to link then choose files you will get pictures and files. Click on the picture you want. Then when it's downloaded add selected will light up in the left hand corner. Press this and they will be on your blog. It's easy when you get use to it. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteMmm
DeleteNo good?
DeleteHow I wish I could walk there too.
ReplyDeleteHi Sabine. Hope you enjoy the West Cork photos? You will have to come back again some time. Thanks for commenting.
ReplyDeleteBy all accounts, you live in beauty. I that ladder to help you up the hill?
ReplyDeleteYes it's a beautiful place to live Joanne. I think the fence is there because sheep graze the difference parts of the commonage. So use the ladder to keep the sheep in. It's certainly good exercise on the Sheepshead Way. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky to live in such a beautiful country. Sadly walking is not in my scheme of things but memories still exist... thank goodness.
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie. It is beautiful and parts of it are quite hilly. I am sure you have some lovely walking memories? Wet and miserable here today but no wind yet thankfully. Thanks for your comment Valerie.
ReplyDeleteFINALLY FREE FROM HERPES VIRUSI thought my life had nothing to offer anymore because life became meaningless to me because I had herpes virus, the symptoms became very severe and bold and made my family run from and abandoned me so they won't get infected. I gave up everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because the doctor told me there's no cure. I consumed so many drugs but they never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me making it worse. I was doing some research online someday when I came across testimonies of some people of how DR ADIGBA cured them from herpes, I never believed at first and thought it was a joke but later decided to contact him on the details provided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent me his herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after two weeks. Within 7 days of medication the symptoms disappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I was NEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you DR ADIGBA because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep on telling the world about you. If you are going through same situation worry no more and contact DR ADIGBA via dradigba@gmail. com or WhatsApp him via +2348077875210. he is good too to cure all type of disease and virus. 1 HIV cure 2 cancer 3 diabetes 4 hepatitis 5 herpes. You can contact if you are having any problem...

ReplyDeleteI was cured of HIV with the use of natural herbs. My name is Alandre and I'm from Texas. I love herbs so much. Most times, injection and drugs are just a waste of time. I was cured, I suffered from HIV for 13 years but with the help of Dr. Mark herbal medicine, I was cured within a few weeks of drinking the herbs he sent to me through courier delivery service. This same doctor also cured my Aunty from herpes, as soon as I heard she had herpes, I quickly refer her to Dr.Mark and she was cured too after drinking his herbs.I have referred a lot of people to Dr. Mark and they were all cured from their various illness. Have you taken herbs before?. You have spent so much money on drugs,injections,surgeries etc and yet you have no good result to show for it. Contact Dr. Mark now, he is a herbalist doctor, Dr. Mark has herbs that cures Hiv, Herpes, diabetics, asthma, hepatitis, STD, cancer, chronic, etc. Contact Dr Mark through his Email address on: blessedlovetemple@gmail.com Please share the good news to other people once you are cured.
