I miss going up and down dales @rebrascora last long walk I took was in 2019 did the coast to coast for the macmillan cancer Trust I got my boots made to fit my feet by a little old man back in south Africa and their still going strong never a blister or a rub of any kind from them I would also say theres some amazing walking Shoes around now so you don't have to wear big old clunky boots if you don't want to @eggyg
I love my walking shoes but as I’m getting older I need ankle support, especially for the fells. I don’t like boots but it’s needs must I’m afraid.
I hate getting older, but hey, it’s better than the alternative. 😉
I likes full fat Ambrosia with pineapple jam dobbed in. Have a good day all, this weather though!!!
Do I not get extra points for adding butter, sugar and cocoa, Jan?@rebrascora I am LOL at the rice pudding. I would never eat that, I'd feel it a waste of time with it being low fat.
Jan, we love to hear from you even if it is "illegally", so don't use that as an excuse to abandon us.
I have a friend with severe allergies. She once told me that E45 cream contains some form of detergent.
Most definitely!
Hi Elaine - just nudging in here. I have had problems with my feet (Mortons Neuroma) from climbing Kilimanjaro - my friend says I donated my feet to charity! Anyway I was advised to get boots with nice wide toes and when I was in Keswick a few years ago I bought a pair of Altberg G-fit - they are BRILLIANT! Comfy from the word go and don't pinch my toes at all.
Still using Persil which my mum began using when I was younger (may still use), though I've long since changed to the liquid version. Haven't changed anything like that, I'm quite a stickler for the "tried and tested and used most of my life" products - I know I can be sensitive to change so prefer not to.
My ex husband turned out to have a food allergy to raspberries which brought him out in a really itchy rash on his back and thighs. He had no idea but rasps are one of my favourite fruits so we were having them more often than he would normally eat them. It took ages to figure out the cause and I always thought it was weird that the rash didn't affect his mouth or face but just his back and legs.... human bodies are odd in how they respond to things sometimes. Pleased it was him and not me considering I eat rasps pretty much daily now with my diabetes.
The great thing is that you are one of "us" "awesome people" now too, helping to put a smile on others faces with your quirky posts and fab dog photos and making a difference to how we feel too. Yes, keep posting. We love them!
Funnily enough my hubby suggested strawberries to me, so I'm giving them - and all other fruit - a miss now. I never ate much by way of fruit before and added it to my diet to be healthier - so it could be that - I know full well that I can suddenly get a reaction to something after years of happily eating it.....life can be very unfair at times! lol
