Each photo is a magical world and it -- and your words -- take me there. Yes, we take the steps we can take, baby or big -- and find our way, day by day and step by step. I hope you'll get to hike your coastal path, at least be at this beautiful spot. Things take time. It sounds like you have a good handle on things, though, and that makes a world of difference.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040263296279181432.post-57635883464416114102021-04-19T10:08:38.641+00:002021-04-19T10:08:38.641+00:00Thank you, my friend, yes, I've been thinking ...Thank you, my friend, yes, I've been thinking about a stick too. One solution is a pair of hiking poles. That way we wouldn't look like old crocks as all and sundry use them. Why, we could even pretend to be speed walkers. My cousin carried a folding stick, saying if she felt herself falling she could unfold it. We tried to explain by the time she'd unfolded it she'd be on the ground, but she wouldn't have any of it. <br />Stay safe and stay well.Rustic Pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335714529878600216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040263296279181432.post-26341273569747270062021-04-19T10:00:55.682+00:002021-04-19T10:00:55.682+00:00Another beautiful and moving post and the photos a...Another beautiful and moving post and the photos are lovely. I am so glad you have ventured out and taken the first steps towards getting fit and being able to take longer walks. You live in such a beautiful part of the country.<br /><br />I can sympathise re: uneven and stoney paths especially if on a slope. These days with my wonky knees I feel so unsteady and even started to wonder if I needed a stick!<br /><br />Take care my friend.Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040263296279181432.post-11120143360049307212021-04-19T08:46:01.319+00:002021-04-19T08:46:01.319+00:00Thank you, my friend.

I'm so glad to hear you are taking baby steps returning to your walks. As I am getting older (God willing) I am cutting back on daily activities that used to be a breeze for me. My pride is bruised by this realization, but necessary. I always LOVE seeing your beautiful photos of your lovely coastline. Take care, my friend. xoxoThe Joy of Home with Martha Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912198511168813613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040263296279181432.post-81582509435470037612021-04-18T11:45:19.637+00:002021-04-18T11:45:19.637+00:00Thank you, Valerie.

Yesterday I had a few socially distanced chats with people along the way, and while it felt good to do so, that over riding thought of social distancing is omni present.

I can imagine how much you long to walk those paths again, but get strong first! This past time has been a nightmare for many of us, and we can only hope and pray that life will get back to normal sooner or later.

Lockdown has impacted on fitness for so many of us. I'm sorry your daughter had a bad reaction. Yes, the weather is perfect for walking, and also for gardening. Sadly, I can't do both together. I hope you get out to walk those beautiful hills soon.Rustic Pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335714529878600216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040263296279181432.post-70747615231613770642021-04-18T08:33:32.927+00:002021-04-18T08:33:32.927+00:00Indeed, the beauty around us here in Wales has for...Indeed, the beauty around us here in Wales has for us too been the glue holding us together this past year. I would love to walk some of the coast path but we're now too far inland really - 2 hours from good seaside at Borth and Pembs even further of course. If the coast path walk you did upset your back so much, perhaps it is out of kilter? I have regularly (perhaps every 18 mths or so) had to attend my Chiro when my hip comes out of true which impacts on back, knee, ankle etc. If you want a good Chiro, Peter Jarvis in Carmarthen is brilliant. He has practice offices in Blaenporth, Cardigan too and Pembroke. It would be lovely to read you were able to walk some of the coast path without pain afterwards.<br /><br />I need to try and get fitter to do some of the fabulous walks along the hills here, but have only had my slow daily walk with my husband in the park this past couple of weeks as our daughter was poorly after her Covid jab.<br /><br />It's been a while since we had a good walk where you live (my birthday, probably 5 or 6 years back now). Looking forward to seeing more photos. Enjoy your walks - this weather is just perfect for walking.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.com
