Nordic walking poles didn't make it!

7 Replies

Oh dear! I've had a pair of walking poles on order from Amazon since before Christmas and they were delivered today - except they weren't!?! The packet had an easel in it(??). So, from excitement to spitting fire in 10 seconds - I've already arranged to return the easel and reordered the poles, but that means another wait! Oh well, if my trusty Sholley had feelings it would be happy - it's still my walking aid of choice for at least a while longer!

Ooh sorry to chuckle, not even close! Perhaps you could start a new trend? Good luck with sorting it out. 🚶‍♀️

Perhaps the universe thinks you should take up painting as well?

Hey runswithdogs - strangely, I do paint! But I already have 2 field easels as well as a studio one! And even stranger, the replacement poles came late this afternoon by courier! So I'm off to the woods with the neighbours in the morning when they walk their gorgeous dog, Polly! A good way to start 2019. Runswithdogs, I hope the new year brings you ever better health and much joy and laughter x

I also like to paint I hope your Nordic walks will give you plenty of inspiration.

in reply toBeechnuts

Thanks Beechnuts - I'm watching an awful lot of youtube so I kind of learn how to use them! Hopefully by the time the weather warms up I'll be a pro (lol!) and be able to sketch out in the countryside again! Happy painting to you too!
