Today

 We started today doing our usual chores; me making Kefir, Val making Sauerkraut. She then left the house to go and help with a litter pick on our estate; I clambered onto my cross trainer to try and do my usual stint. For me the exercise on the cross trainer or elliptical exerciser is not a labour of love. In the first 20 minutes all I want to do is stop!!! Then my target is 30 minutes and above. Currently I’m aiming at around 1 hour and I’ve been doing that pretty much every day since Aug 2025.

I finished at around 11.15 and did my usual ablutions before Val arrived home and we decided to go and get a few steps and some fresh air. I don’t know why but Val suggested a wood near a friends house . The wood is called Broadland Country Park. Its very beautiful but not huge. We drove the around 7 miles and managed to park and then walked. We stopped in the church of St Margaret’s of Antioch. A small church with a delightfully small organ.
