In the centre of Leominster.
40% completed!

Thanks to RTS, but coming up to the end of that and my highest mileage ever! I shall be walk/running those 10 and 11 kms coming up, don't want to break!
After that, it is back to normal but Dewi Dragon or was it Darwin, is well behind. I think, even with a drop to my average 4 kms a day, I shall be ok... :)

Yeah!

When I first moved here 26 years ago, I though it was Leo-minster, as in the Lion's church...
But no, I was harshly put into my place: Lemster, as in Lemsip! Oh the disappointment!

I kept annoying the now ex husband with these incongruencies in the English language.
Him: you call oranges sinas apples...
Me: yeah, because that is what they are. You Brits however call an ananas a PINE APPLE how stupid is that? It bears a vague resemblance to a tightly closed pine cone, but, apple????

Oh don’t get me started on place names Hanneke! Happisburgh is one of my favourites, how those Norfolk folk can make that haysborough I will never know!
