Essex by birth Norfolk at heart, I love the great outdoors, enjoy walking 🥾, amateur 📸 , volunteer locally. Completed Couch to 10K & raced NYD 🏅 most likely at Parkrun on a Saturday morning.
Current position 😎 Sat here in a breeze under the shade of a Chestnut tree. Knowing my luck there’s something rare & remarkable in the tree right behind me 🙄😆 Much cooler than my lounge this afternoon 🥵 Never one for conventional days off 🤩
Not too shabby … it was pretty impressive to watch but was over so quick! #PartialEclipse #NorthNorfolk
Flashback to 1999!27 yrs ago a fab trip to Hungary🇭🇺to be on the line of totality-AMAZING🤩Tihany on the shores of Lake Balaton,largest lake in Central Europe.Swimming in the lake too 🤩🥰The only photo I can find: view across the lake at totality #TotalEclipse @skycalpro.com @chrispage90.bsky.social
Shortly after sunset this evening 😍 #CoastLife #NorthNorfolk #Sunset @skycalpro.com @virtualastro.bsky.social @chrispage90.bsky.social
Week 66 of my streak:bus 🚌 to Cromer & run back🏃♀️I’m really growing to love this route. Road closures for water leaks & electricity issues safely negotiated. Thankfully cooler,determined not to go out to fast-pace was better & it felt easier.Not much walking💪 Must be the new socks 🧦 😆 #RebelliousHope
This place just keeps on giving 🥰 I’m working on my motion shots…after landing the Marsh Harrier flew up & came very low & close to the hide so I just enjoyed the display.We’re so lucky they’re resident,so many folk have never seen one.There were 3 up hunting early this evening 🦅 #NWTCleyMarshes
Great views of the 2 Glossy Ibis in North Norfolk this afternoon (if only I hadn’t forgotten my tripod 🤦🏻♀️). #UKBirding #Birds
How disappointing 🙇🏻♀️ I rather enjoy getting my texts with time on or volunteering thanks. #Parkrun #Parkrunday @parkrunuk.bsky.social
I went for a walk on the reserve and didn’t get far as I sat for ages listening to a Bittern booming but he didn’t show himself. When I eventually left I was treated to a low flying Marsh Harrier hunting over a field of crops. 🥰 @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social #NWTCley #NorthNorfolk #UKBirding
After a busy & rewarding morning volunteering I performed one of my regular quality control checks of the scones 🤩 Now off out for a walk to burn it off 🥾 @maryannsland.bsky.social ✍️ 😉
I slept well & felt strong, I hoped to nudge a few seconds off last week-it wasn’t to be!That’s the last time I hold back on the downhill out!🙄Thanks #Volunteers A lovely morning,🥵 in the 🌳🌲out of the 🥶 wind.Happy retirement 361’s you been great👟I enjoyed it & lovely to see friendly faces 😎 #Parkrun
Road trip prep - car washed, I’ll cleaned the inside, new rear windscreen wiper sorted, tyre pressures checked ✅ just fluids to do nearer the time. It’ll be time to go away before I know it 🥳 #AnnualLeave #RoadTrip
I’m pleased with that - definitely feels like I’m getting back into my running after a tricky adjustment while I started working with my physio. Breathing doesn’t seem a battle even at the start these days but my calves were screaming at me again but I ploughed on #RebelliousHope #BlueskyRunners
Unusually for me I’ve had a couple of restless nights so felt a little weary but was looking forward to a run, my legs had other ideas! 2 miles is better than no miles & as tough as it was I’m pleased I went out 💪 #RebelliousHope #BlueskyRunners
I’m proud of this💪52 active week streak (avg 3 p/w) of walks,swims,runs & lately exercise bike too.Since end of June I’ve run every week,less miles since Feb as I’ve been working with a biomechanics physio.My plan now is to incorporate increased mileage again.A scone to celebrate 😇 #RebelliousHope
Just a few more @midsandeastnt.bsky.social Sheringham Park 🧵 2/2 @chrisdoward.bsky.social
I went back to @midsandeastnt.bsky.social Sheringham Park this afternoon and walked 2.3 miles around the park. Funny old year some of the Rhododendrons & Azaleas are over, some perfect & others still to flower. Some of them smelt amazing and the colours very vivid 🥰 @chrisdoward.bsky.social 🧵 1/2
A splendid Chicken of the woods on a dead (Oak?) tree 🌳 this afternoon. @midsandeastnt.bsky.social Sheringham Park, North Norfolk @norfolknats.bsky.social #Mycology
The view from The Ling Hut @midsandeastnt.bsky.social Sheringham Park, North Norfolk this afternoon. Affords arguably the best views from the park out across the valley to Skelding Hill and out to sea 🌊 #CoastLife #LuckyToLiveHere @chrisdoward.bsky.social
The Pocket Handkerchief tree @midsandeastnt.bsky.social Sheringham Park, North Norfolk looking beautiful this afternoon. Easily missed if you don’t know where to find it. 🌳 @gwtreelover.bsky.social @treeside.bsky.social
So good to be back at #Parkrun today, it felt better than the time suggests,today was about enjoying it 🤩,lovely☀️warm,dry morning 🏃♀️😎 Thanks to all the #Volunteers & other friendly faces too. My longest run for a few weeks, upped my overall mileage this week 💪 #RebelliousHope @parkrunuk.bsky.social
When you Google Sir David Attenborough 🥰 I’ve just watched his birthday celebrations at the Royal Albert Hall. Just delightful. Happy birthday 🎂 Sir #SirDavidAttenborough
Sooo who’s Parkrunning tomorrow? 🏃♀️ 🏃♂️ I’m still on the fence which one of 2 local ones here in North Norfolk to visit tomorrow - may end up flipping a coin in the morning. 👟 #Parkrun #Parkrunday formerly known as Saturday. @parkrunuk.bsky.social #BlueskyRunning
I’ve been reminiscing about my lovely evening on a guided tour of the RRS Sir David Attenborough 🚢 in June 2023 while moored at Harwich. Fascinating. Stood in the breakout area of the bridge to watch sunset then up to the top deck to watch the full moon rise #SirDavidAttenborough #FeelingGrateful
Many happy returns of the day to Sir David Attenborough, 100 years old & looking good on it 🎂🤩 I have fond memories in June 2023 of being invited aboard for a guided tour of the RRS Sir David Attenborough - a great evening & fascinating ship 🚢😊 #SirDavidAttenborough
OMG my heart skipped a beat … #BBCNews it is not ok to send a news alert starting like that 😡 on the eve of his 100th birthday 🎂 #SirDavidAttenborough
A cool, breezy but sunny ☀️ 😎 stroll along the prom approx 2 hrs before low tide. Somehow I stumbled into @WhelkCoppers 🤷🏻♀️ I had to have tea and scone to steady my nerves 🤣 #CoastLife #LuckyToLiveHere
My day off so a lazy start then called in at the Polling Station to cast my vote 🗳️ en route for a workout. Really enjoyed that, nice and cool out earlier on. My breathing is mostly settling quicker on runs these days. #RebelliousHope #BlueskyRunning
How intriguing…🤔 I found some lovely tulips💐on the doorstep when I went out earlier 🤷🏻♀️I often use the back door,they’re a little limp so may have been there a couple of days. It’s been cool so hope they’ll perk up. No idea who they’re from, label has been completely removed!🥰 #ItIsAMystery
