First newt of the day out running in new trainers that are identical to old trainers! I knew they would be absolutely fine but mr jelly said to try them out just incase because I’m planning a very very long run in them tomorrow! Not quite sure how long... I’m going to try running from 6am till 6pm, not sure how far I will get! I’m doing 13 mile laps using home as my snack stop!

I have the prom and the sea at the end of my street, I can’t imagine moving away from here now, this is where I would like to stay!

Yah for the thanks you daffs how lovely.

HO your end of Street is amazing. At the end of our street if I take the road the the right I come to the woods. It is a beautiful place I’ll have to find a pic.

Today’s fun brought me a little wren, another failed sighting of the park’s kingfisher & otter, a little nose bleed (last one I recall I was in primary [IMAGE139567][IMAGE139567][IMAGE139567]school) and beautiful blue skies an flowers. Not sure what the yellow ones are.



Good luck with the run Jelly that is epic!!

Oh spotted this in my gallery if I go through the woods to left of the house follow it round through the fells cross a road I go into these woods. This is just under 1m from our house if I turn right and down the left hand road

I'm not at all envious of people who can see the sea from (near) their houses. Not at all.
(oop, sorry, wrong thread).

Newt specs collected from the optician today - very different to the old ones and it's always a shock when the world stops being a bit smeary.
Later I hope to get a run in newt rainers, too. I got them 'blind' (a style I've never had before and a brand I think I've only had once, a long time ago) off wiggle, so it's quite an adventure (in 2020-21 terms, at least).

It may well have been deliberate but I love 'newt rainers' Rae.

Oh no GG... cold AND wet! ;-) Sounds like Cleethorpes - but I know you're Newcastle, obvs. Looks beautiful down your street!

Hi Sharkie, not sure if you saw that I mentioned I used to live in Hastings (13 years there up until 2016)

I’m now back in sunny Suffolk about 18 miles from where I was born. It was a timely move to be honest as my dad was quite poorly and went into a home for 2 years before he died and I got to spend much more time visiting without having to drive up the A21!

Go on with you, Sharkie; Cleethorpes is in a fairly dry part of the UK - it's dull and cloudy a lot, with more rain than Hastings I grant you, but we don't have as much rain in this area as they have in the west or up north.

My newts are to learn a new knitting technique - provisional cast on, knitted in such a way so the stitches can be picked up later on - for a garment I've not attempted to knit before. It took a bit of a while to get my head round it but I've just finished row 8 of a lacey shawl/wrap and I have the right number of stitches, despite it being very fine yarn and too easy to lose or gain a stitch or 4 :)

That a stunning view, HP.

About This Thread

starblackheartstar The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring starblackheartstar

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
