Preparation for Tuesdays Christmas Flower Demonstration.

I have been busy today preparing for the Demonstration on Tuesday, full details in previous Blog. Looking forward to entertaining lots of people with some help from Julie.  Lots of raffle prizes to add to the arrangements we'll be making.

I will be doing it all again at Dorothy House Outreach Centre at Peasdown St John, it's their Christmas Craft Fayre so it's a lovely opportunity for me to meet lots more people involved with the fantastic work the Hospice does.

Also made time for a walk today, started in sunshine but as you can see from the picture it didn't stay sunny for long. Walked a bit of the Bath Skyline behind where I used to live it's changed a lot as they have cleared a lot of undergrowth and made it fun for the children with lots of Fairy Doors to find in the Fairy Wood. Then had a well deserved coffee by the canal.

Anyone going shopping in Bath on Thursday 11th December? I have permission to collect in town and it'd be great to have a bit of help even half an hour or an hour would be great, please let me know as soon as possible, it is late night shopping and the Christmas Market will still be on. 

Out with Archie to christen my new walking boots!!!

3 miles through the woods and fields lots of ups and downs so gave the boots a really good workout not a blister in sight and lovely dry feet despite jumping in the puddles like a big kid! Think it was a bit much for poor Archie, getting old, will have to find a younger fitter dog to borrow.

 

 

Looking forward to seeing lots of people at the Flower Demo on the 2nd, don't forget to spread the word. If you missed the announcement please check the previous post.

Well my back is healing much quicker now so I no longer have an excuse not to start building up my fitness except my fitness trainer (pictured right) went home today! Will have to keep borrowing him back!!!

I hope to start back to Zumba Gold this week but I think it's a bit too soon for Pilates. Anyone know of a Line Dancing Class Bath or Keynsham?

The next job is to replace the old walking boots for something a bit lighter and replace the trainers as they've seen better days too, think I'll be hitting the sales straight after Christmas!!!

Raising Money for Dorothy House Hospice.

So no I haven't taken leave of my senses I am going to be raising lots of money for a very worthwhile cause. 

Why? Over the years many people I know have had contact with Dorothy House for one reason or another and more recently it seems to be people much closer to me including my Dad. It is a wonderful organisation and covers many areas you would not immediately associate with them.

Another reason is I recently had an accident and because one of my vertebrae was fractured I had to have a bone density scan the result is I have Osteoporosis. It is controllable with diet and exercise so I decided I needed a focus to help with my fitness, it will be a slow start and a gradual build up and I will need lots of encouragement from my friends especially through the winter.

I have 10 months hard work ahead of me to get very fit and I intend to organise, with the help of all my lovely friends, some really good Fund Raising Events.

The Trek is organised by Dream Challenges so I will have support from them and other people taking part but it really will be my friends that get me there!

Have I taken leave of my senses?!

 

I've now committed myself to trek part of The Great Wall of China September 2015.
