May Bank Holiday

Have been away walking in Yorkshire - it was really good - there was 8 of us - all women - and it was easy, fun and a lovely opportunity to talk. We were also very lucky with the weather - and the spring flowers and freshness were wonderful.





Ruth hadn't done much walking before and her pleasure and sense of achievement was a joy. She and I also had the chance to talk which was special. Ruth suddenly lost her husband last July and I have been thinking about her a lot over the last few months - as we are in many ways sharing a journey. So it was good to talk and for us both to have a depth of understanding of each other's situation, based on our own knowledge.


There were lots of flowers, including bluebells on all three of our walks and we did a good mixture of moors, woods and climbs.



So all in all a very satisfying weekend and one I think I needed. It's good to have some fresh air and a bit of distance.
