Mixed feelings

Warm sunshine as I persisted along Northway today, I have to say I’ll be very glad to complete the section I set out to cover, I need a change of scenery and preferably one which is not interrupted by endless hurtling traffic. So 2 more bags of rubbish cleared from the roadside with the added bonus of 22p picked up and now nestling in the Prostate Cancer UK pot. You see there is usually an upside.


Dog walkers were out in force and among them was a woman with a beautiful creamy coloured labrador. She accepted one of the 3 leaflets I handed out and said she would pass it on to her brother. Sadly, she lost her husband to a brain tumour. Poor thing must be feeling particularly low at the moment, she has been to 3 funerals this month all for people who died as a result of forms of cancer. I think she reacted well to the idea that by taking the Know your Prostate leaflet she was making a positive move in the fight to prevent more deaths from cancer. I keep repeating, if you have any concerns go to see your doctor, so many cancers caught early enough can be treated successfully. You just need to give medicine the chance to win.

Not much of this field of leeks left to gather but they were hard at it as I went about my business. I do like seeing signs of a food harvest, it is such a positive action. There is something so complete about it. I do like a good leek.
