I’m taking on the Mayday Mile Challenge to support RNLI volunteers

This May, I’m completing a mile-a-day challenge to help RNLI crews save lives at sea.

During summertime, more people flock to beaches and coastal towns to make the most of everything they have to offer – from glorious sunshine to adventurous watersports. And as temperatures rise, so do calls from people in trouble in the water.

By answering this Mayday call and giving a gift today, you can make a real, lifesaving difference. Your kindness will help give volunteers everything they need to launch to the rescue, and make sure they’re ready to face their busiest season.

Will you sponsor my RNLI Mayday Mile Challenge and support the courageous crews?

The sun has got his hat on

Friday 15th May
Seeing the sun out for most of the day is great. Carnt wait to walk around with no coat on. I don't know about anyone else but the walk are both a good break from the news, and work. Also Im discovering areas around my home Ive not seen in years or haven't seen at all. I have every intention of keeping up the walking after this event.
Selections from my playlist from this walk:-
The Body beautiful  Saltnpepa
Summer of 69  Bryan adams
Poisen   Alice cooper
Lovelight  Abba

Is it going to be summer yet?

Sunday 10th May
It’s still cold and breezy out there, A little more summer would be welcome. Although the Hawthorn is out in flower which I always love. Walked along the canal again and but in the opposite direction to yesterday and stopped for coffee at a little independent place, in one of the old railway arches.  Lots of dogs around which I love.
Some songs off the playlist today:-
Every mile a memory  Dirks Bently
Drunk on You  Luke Bryan
Cornbread and butter beans  Carolina and the chocolate drops
Your baby aint sweet like mine  Carolina and the chocolate drops

Good to see the rowing club practicing Go Girls and Guys. Hope everyone else is having a good time on their walks and runs First week down three more to go.
