It’s Sunday! Time for a Sunday Sevens!
Baking:
To keep himself occupied, David has been baking. He first made an espresso devil’s food cake and then chocolate chip cookies. They were both very yummy if not fattening!
Walks with Riley:
Last Sunday David and I, with Riley in tow visited a cold Lunt Meadows Nature Reserve. We walked three miles around the reserve and observed hundreds of teals flying around the frozen pools. We were also blessed to see two roe deer bounding towards woodland.
#walk1000miles:
My miles for this week has been 45, bringing my annual total to date to 260 miles.
A Year in Books:
My Year in Books is not going so well. I am still plodding my way through Minette Walter’s medieval novel, The Turn of Midnight. I am enjoying this book far better than the first but I am only snatching moments to read whilst on the bus to work. In preparation for future reads I’ve bought more books! I’ve a library full of classics to read but just can’t face them! So I keep buying more modern titles.

What book/s are you enjoying at present?
RSPB Membership:
This week David and I have become members of the RSPB. I still had money from my birthday and Christmas, so I decided to purchase a RSPB membership as there are a few reserves nearby that I want to revisit, Leighton Moss being one of them.
My Wild City:
Also this week I signed up to participate in the Wildlife Trusts’, My Wild City. The aim is to ‘reconnect people with their gardens, and local green spaces to create wildlife corridors for both people and wildlife.’ The initiative is aimed at Manchester but I decided to sign up anyway and see what my small yarden can do. Perhaps you can sign up too?
Beach (bonus picture):
Selfie at Formby Point
Today we took Riley to Formby Point, my brother and his girlfriend, Ashlea came along for the ride. Much fun was had by all.
So that was my week, how was yours?
Thanks for reading,

A super week. I am reading the Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, it is most unusual to say the least!

Looks like a lovely week. Chocolate cake always goes down a treat with me. I joined the RSPB this Summer just gone along with my niece and nephew. I always look forward to my magazine. 🙂

I’ve just started reading The Road – it’s been on my list for so long!
I can’t believe how you manage to clock up those miles! Do you just count ‘boots on’ walks or do you include other general daily walking?

Hi Louise hope you enjoy The Road! I count all walks, boots on and general walking to work as well as cross trainer sessions. I get off about 10 bus stops earlier and do a 2 mile walk before work everyday! 🙂
