By way of introduction....
A refugee from Twitter as lots of the accounts I followed are now here. I don't post often, but I do repost if I like something. Generally I don't follow back unless we have a lot in common. Not into politics, especially North American.

Running to enter the #AlphabetChallenge #WeekSforShadows

(If this picture looks familiar, then it probably is, I posted it a couple of days ago on my other "photography only" account. I since changed my mind about having two accounts, one specifically for photography, so the other one was deleted)

Skipped #parkrun this morning, so went for a shorter #walk instead. Royal Marsden September Challenge walk 8 with 40km now complete 😀

Nonsuch #parkrun this morning, Jeffing for the first half, then #walking with a friend for the second half. Royal Marsden September Challenge walk 4, about 20 km completed in week 1. Another good turn out, just under 1000 took part.

Nonsuch parkrun and 5K Your Way. We also remembered David Gullen, a Nonsuch 5K Your Way ambassador, recently lost to prostate cancer. David always finished his run with arms outstretched and "flew" into the finish line. Just over 1000 attendees.

Does anyone have a foolproof recipe for Crab Apple jelly? Just over 7lb (3.25kg) of apples.

A rather nice harvest from my small garden this morning. Still loads of tomatoes, beans and courgettes to come and leeks & carrots have been planted/sown in the tubs that had the potatoes in. Pleased how things are going despite the continued lack of rain

Drawn back to Morden #parkrun for a satisfying test on grass and inclines. Great to see the #parkwalk initiative getting a turn in the spotlight . I see the future, and it is a little bit slower 😂 #LetsWalk #LoveParkrun #Running

Drink plenty of water, eat as healthily as you can and try to get a bit of exercise every now and then, because there are people you *definitely* want to outlive.
