A milestone

This week I reached a milestone in my weekly walks

This is week 26 of 2012 and in January I set myself the goal of taking a long walk each week for the whole year.

And this week was no exception.  Walk 26/52 was through the Wyre Forest to Bewdley and through Ribbesford back to the car.  8-9 miles of loveliness apart from the steep hill in the blazing sunshine towards the end.

Loved this sign about 6 feet up a tree

And the best part is that in the 26 weeks I have actually done 30 long walks.

On Sunday I am doing another walk, but Roger says it doesn't count towards my weekly walks.  I am walking 3 miles (5km) around the park in Solihull as part of the Race for Life raising money for Cancer Research.  If you feel you could help by sponsoring me I would be really grateful.  You can find my fundraising page here.

Baseball Nut!

I have never heard of the ice cream which is the inspiration for week 3 of Summer of Color.  But then England isn't known for Baseball teams!  Or for putting cashew nuts in ice cream!

It does have a football team which is playing in the quarter finals of Euro 2012 as I type. (That's Soccer for my US friends).

Anyway here is the ice cream in question:

 And the description.

"A smooth, vanilla flavored ice cream swirled with a black raspberry ribbon and loaded with cashews"      -Baskin Robbins

 And here is my journal page inspired by the ice cream colours.

Scrapbook LIfe Journal for May

As you know I have been a bit preoccupied with decorating the study and so got a bit behind with various creative projects.  One of which is the May entry for my Scrapbook Life Journal. 

I mostly ignored the prompts sent by Stephanie and so the month is a record of all the walks we took.

And because I had a spare page left for the month of May I stuck in the verse that Stephanie had sent us.

Thanks for stopping by.
