Just checking

Have I done enough this year for you to put a few pence into my justgiving page?

24 miles today as #Grinch

Those hills as the deep breaths seal up the mask. Maybe causing a bit of a suction issue

But lots of toots, lots of waves from Southampton to leeonthesolent and back

30 miles along the coast and back always helps clear ones mind...

Have a wonderful day

The importance of shopping local to your area.

Recently I went in to @thebookshop1933.bsky.social in Lee-on-the-Solent and bought some fantastic second-hand books, some of which I had never seen before. #leeonthesolent #books #local #hampshire #shoplocal #gosport #bookshop

Windy lunchtime walk today. There is something special about the waves crashing down that makes me feel like home, I could watch the waves for hours
