Sally in Norfolk

For as long as I can remember I have always had trouble with my laces on my walking boots and running shoes.
If i didn’t tie them with a double bow they constantly came undone.
I presumed it was due to the vibrations from my feet hitting the ground over and over again.
Then Geoff discovered the Boot [...]

As my friend T was leading a walk for the Newmarket Ramblers, I decided to take myself off to Knettishall heath yesterday to join them.
It was a long drive out from Cambridge but with a postcode and Tom Tom I found my way easily.
The walk started off on the Angles Way and finished on the [...]

I realize not everyone is as lucky as me.
Some people live in mud huts and never get to go on holiday.
I often think about these people and try in my own little way to brighten their day.
For a while now I have been sending Devonshire Dumpling a postcard when ever I go away,so she can [...]

The weather was not nice when we woke this morning so I was quite glad not to be skiing today.
The plan was to go snow shoe walking, something I really enjoy.
Finally once the weather had cleared, Thierry lent us some snow shoes and we were on our way.
Due to the late start we only managed [...]

2. Add 1 glass of wine per person.
3. Add grated cheese slowly ( 250g per person [...]

After 7 days of skiing I am Knackered .
Hopefully going for a walk tomorrow, well it is Sunday

Yesterday even in the low light conditions I managed to ski from the highest point allowed on the les Gets Ski pass.
At 6575 ft it was steep in places and with a drop of 2000 ft I found it quite tough but I managed it.
Although it left me feeling mentally and physically Tired.
Then that evening [...]

We woke today to find it snowing, Just what Les Gets needed.
It has continued to snow all day long.
So no skiing today as I hate skiing in low light
When you cannot tell the difference between land and sky.
So a very lazy day doing nothing , I could not even get Geoff out for a walk.
Now [...]

In the past few years I have taken to collecting fridge magnets.
They make nice little souvenirs of all the lovely places I have been lucky enough to visit since meeting Geoff.
They take up no room in my house and are easy to carry home.
I have already got a Les Gets one from the summer,so [...]

The main thing about ski-ing which scares me is the Speed.
As my ski-ing has improved I have become more in control, which means I am better at controlling my speed,well most of the time
Today I took my GPS out with me to record my maximum speed.
Now I am not a fast skier by [...]
