Well, it's still taking its time, but I am still at it come terrible weather, ill health, fatigue, and recently the passing of one of my beloved mastiffs, Colonel. I've completed 60% of the journey today, planted another tree, and continue to trudge on like a very old person trudging through treacle– but still I trudge on 🚶

So sorry to hear about your mastiffs. Sounds like you’ve had a pretty hard time recently. So well done for keeping in walking! Even if treacle trudging! It all counts! Also hope it helps with lifting your spirits!

Thank you. Colonel really was a one in a million Dogue, who came from a very sad and difficult background that he almost didn't survive, so he has a really special place in my heart ♥ I think 6 weeks of almost nonstop rain hasn't helped. And yet another cold coming along just 4 weeks after the last bout of Covid. I can't express how frustrating it is to keep catching one after another with no physiological explanation as to why this keeps happening 😞 We won't even start on the long Covid!!!!

Well done on continuing to trudge.. even trudging is better than doing nothing, and sixty per cent is an achievement. I hope you will get over your cold quickly,and keep going. It’s so hard to lose a beloved pet.. so much a part of the family - so sorry for your loss.
