I had NEVER eaten a loquat before today - I ate one straight from the box, with the skin on, and was really alarmed by the “giant pips” 😳 but they slice up nice on my porridge / oatmeal thank you!
Organic and in my veg box delivery last Friday from sutton community farm 🌿
A family affair today as I went on a led walk with my son today to celebrate the launch of this new Bristol Ring Walk for National Walking Month :-) this was part of Section 4 - such a great day - had lunch at the cafe at the top at the Observatory - At the 360 café 🍴
I sent both of these pairs off to the boot repair company and it’s like I’ve had new Birkenstocks returned to me in place of the scruffy dangerous broken soles! Really pleased with these - just need for it to stop with the hail stones so that I can wear them again :)
What’s your favourite National Trust park?
And
Where is everybody? Bit colder today so nobody about in the park, or wetlands - there were a couple of people painting, by the famous Morden Hall Park bridge, but not many other folk about today!
Such a good day - a different walk for me, followed the Lea Valley walk section 3 Tottenham / Walthamstow in reverse - search for it on the Go Jauntly app if you want to find it / amazing food at Pulse & Pickle, art exhibition, wild flowers, graffiti and lovely canal jaunt, even saw a cricket game - London is very villagey :) 12,597 steps!
Any of you lovely folk in Bristol fancy joining in to celebrate the launch of Bristol’s new orbital walking route at this Go Jauntly event next Friday 15th May, 11am - 12.30pm.
Should be a lovely walk through Ashton Court, over the suspension bridge and on to the observatory.
The more the merrier!

Poll clerk today - LONG DAY - Have I missed anything? What’s the weather like?
Went for a walk, along the canal, inspired by the mental health charity Mind over Mountains, to walk in May and June as part of their Everyday Mountains challenge with Go Jauntly urban walking app.
I like the 5k badges 🌸
listened to two podcasts 🎧
Lots of wild garlic, ducklings and bluebells
Amazing fragrance, made a crown, sneezed quite a lot - nevertheless - happy May Day | Beltane Blessings ☺️🌸
Sometimes you just need a sweet treat after an early morning London jaunt. This cafe has the most amazing homemade goodies, it’s called Milk No Milk, which is actually spot on for this random breakfast order :-)
It’s 1976 all over again! I took this photo today (2026)
, when I was out on a walk.
Sometimes it feels very villagey in London - Scouts’ Jumble Sale poster beside the tram tracks. And only a £1 to get in, and it’s in the Parish Hall - love it 🤭
New headphones helped me get out without my own thoughts driving me mad today 🤭 so I’m back on track - only 9086 steps but pleased with myself to get walking :)
I’m teaching this repair method on Saturday, so I’ve been practicing today (I’ve never taught this before - sssssshhh) between client work, I’ve finally cracked it, and can do them quite quickly now but does anyone else get bored as easily as me?! This jumper is SO holey 😳
