Beamish Woods

We have always liked to get out and about for a good walk with our dog Star. The pandemic put a hold on that for a while. The world is slowly going back to some kind of normal and so today we went for a walk in the woods

The woods we walked in ate Beamish Woods only a 10 minute drive ftom our house.



Looks like this tree may have suffered from a lightening strike at sometime in the past.



Star was loving all of the new sniffs.



She had great fun



I spotted this nest in a tree. I'm sure it is to big to be a crows nest. Dave thought it might be some kind of raptor nest. So long as it's not the Volocoraptor type I'm OK with that



There were lots of diffetent twisty paths to go along



I was getting a bit worried about what might be following us as this is like a scene straight put of Jurassic Park.



Bit of a splash about before we headed home.

We had a lovely walk  but it did make me realise that lockdown has done me no favours, and I am now very overweight and very unfit.

When we got home I got out my My Peak Challenge Programme and have decided that from tomorrow I am going to start off with some yoga and some calorie counting. I really do need to do something 😕

Two Red Robins Magazine - Issue 3

While I was away in Italy issue 2 of the Two Red Robins Magazine was released on Create and Craft. I have no idea how much it cost on Create and Craft, but it was on the Highlight Crafts website for £14.99. Because I am a member of the Highlight Craft Club I got it gor £12.99 with free postage. The free cover die this month is a hydrangea and it comes with two sheets of charisma, backing papers and scene sheets. You can download further copies from the Highlight website. Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers, I have two huge ones in my garden, so this die is going to be very useful to me. The magazine has some projects using the cover die. Great for anyone looking for inspiration, but especially usefull for somebody just starting on a crafty journey There are also some projects using other Two Red Robin Die Sets. There are also projects using a mixture of dies from different collections.  I like to see projects like this, they are a great source of inspiration, but im sure you can

My Weight Loss Journey

I have quite bad arthritis in both of my knees. The extra weight I am carrying about is not helping them at all. Its time I took action and got rid of the extra pounds. I am going to do this by simple calorie counting. At present I cant afford a Slimming group, but I know if I am in the right place mentally I can do this, I have done it before.   We get a Wonky vegetable box delivered every week so I am going to be cooking healthy low calorie food using the items in the box. I have all of the Pinch of Nom, Slimming Eats, Slimming Foodie, and Sugar Pink Foods cookbooks so I will have plenty of choice.     My food is planned out for the next week, and I will be recording everything on my Samsung Health App. It always helps me to record everything.     I got of to a good start as I have lost 2lbs this week. Fingers crossed I can keep it up.
