On Our Walks
A while back there was a lovely thread of sunrises that the early risers among us posted. I loved it, so I thought I'd broaden it to a thread for all the lovely sights we see as we do our slow staggers through chemo, or those walks we take after active treatment has finished and we're trying to get our strength and fitness back.
In Melbourne today the weather was sunny, still and mild; perfect for a walk. I have followed my GP to a small town in the Yarra Valley (a good GP is worth the 30 minute drive I reckon), and right outside her surgery is the start of a beautifully laid out walking track. It's 7kms long and I've been keen to explore it. So today I walked halfway along it and back. At over 7kms it was the longest walk I've done since the day before chemo!

- Looking forward to catching up in July @"Annie C" ;)
- @Annie C I will make sure I look you up next time we are irresponsible and throw everything away to do the trip around this great place of ours. We kept on running out of money so ended up having to stop somewhere to work but that was okay, just meant we got to see a place for a bit longer. It took us two years and we missed seeing so much. Once around just wasn’t enough. My retirement plan (just another twelve years or so) is to go around Australia that many times I get dizzy. However I am sure we will get in a trip before then. I was actually hoping for this year, but then BC hit.
- @"Annie C" Wish we were closer too. K :* <3

Have a lovely time ladies, oh so lucky that you are all in the one area at the same time.
Sometimes I wish there was someone here (in person) who "gets it".
At least I have this forum.
Thankyou - @blossom1961 I'll pm you too.
- @kmakm. I'm just down the road. Coffee!! I'll pm you phone number.
- @Blossom1961 How funny! Come over to Raymond Island and do the Koala Walk. There are heaps. We did it last night and also saw kangaroos and an echidna! Plus heaps of bunnies, and the birdlife is amazing.
@j9k It is, I am, thank you! :) - @kmakm looks beautiful. Enjoy! 😊
- @kmakm We are heading to Forge Creek, near Paynesville for an Otis retreat next week. Ships in the night!
