I missed my walk yesterday, but today I did 4.18 miles (6.73 kilometres) and felt good at the end of it. I’ve been doing it for just over a week and may even keep it up! Today was excellent weather – much less humid than recently after the fierce thunderstorm of Wednesday night, but still warm. I walked up through the Rosary and Lion Wood, then went via Plumstead Road and Hilary Avenue on to the ring road and into Mousehold; from there across St James Hill, down on to Riverside Road, up Gas Hill and down to the back of our house.

Yesterday we went to Cromer (where I inducted a new trainee) and then North Walsham – first to the cemetery and then to Dot’s aunt Jessies’s. DCC meeting in the evening: went on to after 10pm, but very relaxed.

The picture is of a stormy sky in the hills north of Balmoral. We got some great sky pictures suring our holiday.
