I’m often amazed at how much other people seem to have considered the problems of the world and have solutions that they are convinced byI find that quite admirable and it makes me (briefly) feel inadequate and not very clever Currently the world seems doomed to disaster as we regularly have reached 50C in manyContinue reading “I’m often amazed”

Thinking about the planet
We have 14km of atmosphere between us and death. 8 and a bit miles of protection. It’s not much and we’re destroying it. I’m very concerned. I know it’ll be there until I’m gone but I’m concerned for those who come behind. I’m amazed that there are still atmosphere disaster deny’ers.
Its been a while
Infact it’s been a whole year. A whole year older and 2 stone lighter and 4 inches off my waist. I think that’s quite an achievement. At our age you start thinking about how long you’ve got left and how you can improve what you’ve got left. Val and I adopted a new way. WeContinue reading “Its been a while”

Val’s back at work

How frustratingContinue reading “April 7th Trespassing walk”

Walking today
It’s been a longtime
It’s been a long time since I thought about writing something here. I was out walking with Valerie (that’s another story) the other day and she said she had been thinking of writing a blog. I told her I had several blogs that had been written over some time and I’d dig out something forContinue reading “It’s been a longtime”
2019 06 : Watkin path up Snowdon, Llanberis down. A serious walk.
This walk started as a glorious bright but damp day. Val and I decided to do this route up to the peak of Snowdon because it was reported as the hardest and we though we should give it a go. We got about half way up before the mist came down on us and itContinue reading “2019 06 : Watkin path up Snowdon, Llanberis down. A serious walk.”
