What a change. Yesterday bright sunshine but this morning it was cold and overcast with a strong headwind and squally showers - winter is definitely back worse luck!!!
I left from the Town Hall in Southport but before I had gone very far I had to stop and put a jacket on as it was really cold and starting to rain.
By the time I got to Churchtown there was the first of several really heavy showers with the wind gusting and making walking much harder. Once I was out in the open countryside with very little to shelter you from the wind I was really having to put my head down and plough into it.
Met Peter at lunchtime at Dunscar, he looked at the plants while I checked out the Musto, well I wasn't going to loose an opportunity was I,and then after a quick snack I carried on up the A59 towards Longton.
After lunch the wind dropped a little and the sun came out so it was a lot more pleasant. Met Emma as arranged at Willow Farm and then back home for a soak. I have now walked the first twenty eight miles, so more than I had originally planned to do but the forecast for tomorrow is not good. Feet holding up well so far. More tomorrow.
Judy, you are doing fantastically well, especially in this unpredictable weather, and are an inspiration to all of us sat in the warm! Enjoying reading your blog (but only now I know you have had a warm bath!) Good luck with tomorrow's stretch, Karen N xx
