forest

Today was the last day of my antibiotic course and I felt well enough to return to my training walks in the forest with Jess. We now go up the steep path through the conifers and down the wide forest track. I have been seeing what it is like to use walking poles, which I don't usually carry. I think they may be helpful on a long walk to take some weight off my feet, and I've found them useful going uphill and on on uneven ground.

We hardly ever meet anyone on our forest walks - it's so peaceful up there.

Today was HOT! I spent most of the day outdoors and did some gardening - had to keep coming inside for a rest and a drink of water, but I'm pleased with what I achieved. Back to work tomorrow :-)
