I set off for a patch walk just after 3 pm, an unusual time for me to set off but, I wanted to go down to the mailbox and it’s not always delivered until well after 2pm or later so…. … More One of the eventful walks
One of my indecisive walks I guess, headed up to the old Oak, then carried on down the lane to the second turnoff then changed my mind and back up again. There’s a good workout on this lane of pretty steep hills. … More August and all that Pt. 5
