A WET WALK

VIC One of our most regular walkers who also takes Daily (and Nightly) strolls around Gimsargh. (He likes to keep feeding his "Fitbit" with lots of footsteps) Took a walk out from Grimsargh to join the Guild Wheel as it drops down the very ( VERY) steep slope through Boilton Wood on it's way towards Brockholes Nature Reserve. Coming the other way were other walkers  who warned him of flooding. Vic is nothing if not adventurous. (Actually he is other things but one must be kind and not libellous 😉)  As he approached the nature reserve a gentleman was putting up signs saying the path was closed and informing Vic that the water had almost come over the top of his wellies. Undaunted, Vic carried and had to clamber up the sides of the path to avoid the deep floods and also to take wide detours to get back.

D.I.Y.

JAMES D. our 86 year old has not been well recently and so unable to join us on our weekly walks.  Well what did he do ?  Spent his time mending gutters and concreting ....I ask you ??? Good News ! James has been the first amongst our ageing band to get the Covid Vaccine.

Recent research has discovered that Neanderthals far from being primitive humanoids were highly intelligent and well organised. The Meanderthals, however, after the passage numerous millenia , do not appear to have progressed very far . Indeed, sometimes, one might think there's  been a regression.
