Say hello to anyone I might know there ☺️

I tell you what…why don’t we organise that day out & you can make the sandwiches 😉

Ditto. I’m now spread thinly over too many sites & miss all my Twitter friends 😞

And then imposed by social media judging anyone who exceeded it. It’s why I avoided social media for much of the pandemic - I walked for miles every day (& saw no one) but there’s no way I was going to share that.

It definitely wasn’t ‘only an hour’, it was ‘try to get outside for an hour’s exercise a day.

Book signing ‘Sketching a Year in Lakeland’ in Sam Read’s Books @samreadbookseller.bsky.social this afternoon. It was a very damp day!

We have bats in our loft. Our neighbour was mending a soffit board & a bat hung upside down watching him from just inside the roof space. When he replaced the board he cut a bat sized hole so it could continue to live there. They are such engaging creatures.

Cycle touring in Scottish rain seems to have made my legs stronger now I’m down amongst the pretty cottages & flint built churches of Hampshire. Mind you the hills were just as steep!

How to choose four photos to sum up five days chasing five ferries (one cancelled, all but one struggling with technical issues) around the Scottish islands & mainland peninsulas? Days of sunshine & cycling & torrential rain & cycling. A fabulous few days 🚴‍♀️🚴🏻‍♂️

And rightly so - she did incredibly well. I hope all will be well for you.

You star! You and your daughter! The weather was…interesting 😂 You’re either buzzing this morning or or totally wrecked. Or both.

Er…have you thought of taking the train & a boat back…?

The clouds are so thick here we can’t see anything 🤷‍♀️

It’s different in an event. You’ll be fine, and if you’re not there I’ll be checkpoints where you can drop out. But if you sit & take a rest at each one you’ll probably recover enough to carry on. But don’t hurt yourself. Have fun!

The Florence Mine once produced haematite for the steel industry as the red puddles proclaim. Egremont Castlecis also worth a visit.

If you can get to the exhibition ‘Wrestle’ at the Florence Arts Centre near Egremont, Cumbria, it’s definitely worth visiting. Jan Moss & @chrisroutledge.bsky.social have paintings & photos (& I have a small embroidery). And a fascinating place too.

I have read about her. She was amazing. And how wonderful to have known her.

I hope you’re having one installed. With a sign on the door saying exactly that.

If anyone has sent me a private message can you let me know here. I’m not taking private messages on Bluesky.

I’m fine thanks. Note to self - pick your feet up! 😂

Also Simone Biles needs to watch out - I’m giving her a run for her money 😂

Absolutely! My dad & I were discussing what constitutes an injury & unless there’s pints of blood or broken bones it doesn’t qualify. Just a scratch 😉

Lizziwake @lizziwake.bsky.social · 31/08/2025
Absolutely fine. I do like to big up these minor misadventures 😉

I wish there had been a video 🤸 🤣

Lizziwake @lizziwake.bsky.social · 31/08/2025
Fine thanks. No damage at all apart from removing a penny sized top layer of skin from my forearm. But it looked impressive - I’m thinking of taking up gymnastics 🤸

Lizziwake @lizziwake.bsky.social · 30/08/2025
Had a lovely run today before the rain arrived. I’m so glad I’m still able to run these trails even tho I’m much slower. I did perform a quite spectacular tumble on a steep path. Really rather proud of the head-over-heels roll back onto my feet, even if did I graze my arm en route 😂

I’ve been reflecting on my visit to the ‘Everest the Hard Way’ exhibition in Grasmere - looking at my 1st edition copy of the book & realising there wasn’t a single woman on that expedition. How the world has changed. And how climbing is no longer viewed in the same way. Different times.

That looks gorgeous. We have had such amazing weather this year.

It’s always a surprise to see places that took you days or hours to reach flash past in a few minutes. What an incredible journey tho - physically & emotionally.

Thanks. I wanted to do it in a two day push but access logistics meant this was the best option - and it meant I enjoyed the seaside twice 😉

I’m reading this and it’s excellent.

Finished the last five miles of the New Lipchis Way to reach the sea at East Head at the entrance to Chichester Channel. Very flat. Lovely views, but very flat. I really don’t like flat walking.

A strange & bleak landscape. A tough route!

We were there a couple of weeks or so ago. Fascinating place, if a bit bleak.

Congratulations! Tim would be smiling at you - the perfect memorial 😊
