Enjoying life, sharing challenges, fun in the outdoors and exploring beautiful Britain.
We have hedgehogs visiting our small suburban garden. Every evening we put out a bowl of water and a small bowl of food for our visitors. In the bowl a mixture of Spike's hedgehog food, a meat based wet food and dry hedgehog food, occasionally supplemented by treats like currants or peanuts. On day 7 …

Today we did something completely different. A few weeks ago, on our Friday staff email, I noticed that the Borough had been given some tickets to watch the procession for the Order of the Garter Ceremony within the grounds of Windsor Castle and had a small number available for staff.

After the long walk I had realised that my walking boots were too tight around my toes, and one little toe had been completely enveloped in a blister. …
The start of a bank holiday weekend, the first one in May, was the perfect time to complete the Bracknell Ramblers Route.
