My Wicken walkers

One of the lovely sights in Wicken

I’m going to put my walking boots on shortly and feel the fresh air on my face. Blogging is bad for a girl’s complexion, and all that sitting in front of a screen doesn’t help to preserve a shapely posterior either.

So I am shortly heading off for an invigorating weekend of country walks, fresh air and sunshine, maybe some swimming and sailing too, in the neighbouring county of Suffolk. I shall be staying in Aldeburgh with friends and it will be my first blog-free weekend since I started in February.

I managed to get some practise in last night by leading a walk around Wicken Fen for my local Ramblers. I was amazed to see 23 eager beavers turn up, all salt of the earth types - and I was very gentle with them.

Thanks Liz for helping with the navigating, I left my glasses behind and could not read the directions. I’m pretty hopeless with a map, as anyone who knows me will vouch.

I popped into PC World with my birthday money yesterday looking for a flatscreen monitor to replace my jumbo desktop Dell dinosaur which stretches from the front of my desk to the wall and came away with this little dream machine.

Not being a tekkie, I assumed I would just plug it in and the TV would work automatically too. But it is fabulous and great not to have to screw up my eyes to read the screen. What do you think, did I make a wise choice?
