Nanstallon



I'd just like to say to all of you who have been 'sharing' my messages on Facebook - THANK YOU. It always has a great impact on the no. of hits on the site. Facebook me on 'MadgeMarsden'.

Today has been just perfect. The weather has been ideal, lovely sunshine and a cooling breeze all day long. We've even managed some footpaths and fields and stiles that are as they should be. Mum was a little bit annoyed about missing the final 6 Nations, but she got over it when we ignored her.

At Tregotha we came across 3 men attempting to move a stone post with chains and a Ford Ka through some very soft ground. They said they were building a modern day Stonehenge ....don't hold your breath!

Shortly after that....devastation....mum has lost her Fitbit (a form of pedometer) that she has had for just short of a year and was registering in excess of 2500 miles over the last 12 months. Inconsolable.

We had a wonderful packed lunch, provided by Sue, on some nice soft dry ground, with great views. I had my Burns.

The days walk was near done in good time...and this was a first...dad suggested we added a bit on at the end...and even rarer...mum agreed. It was only when she spotted the Camel Valley Vineyard sign that light began to dawn. We had a nice cup of tea at the Camel Trail Tearoom! Anyway, for the sadists amongst you who are waiting to donate by the number of miles completed - add another 3!

Keep spreading the word
