Helen's journal and online home

Today we had a nice walk. It's difficult to find local walks together because G is so much fitter than me that he gets frustrated because the walk is too short or slow, or I end up limping and exhausted.

Today we tried an experiment. G set off at 9 am to walk along the old railway which is now a walking and cycling trail. Some time later, I drove to meet him at 11 am at a car park along the way. Then, together, we walked the rest of the trail and across the railway bridge to Barmouth where we bought a picnic lunch which we ate looking out over the beach before walking back to the car park and then driving home. It worked brilliantly. I think we'll be doing this again some time.

This week's theme was: J is for Jar

I thought I might collect some blackberries this week and make some jam, but that just didn't happen, partly due to a couple of wet days. So I had to look around for another interesting jar and remember this. It originally held chocolates (Quality Street, I think) but I've found it's just the thing for holding left over yarn. I use it up making small items such as toys or phone cases.
