Hello – a walk to support a friend

Tomorrow I am setting off on a walk to raise money for the Royal United Hospital in Bath (RUH Bath). This is to support my friend who has worked at the hospital for several years, but sadly is not well enough to walk with me. I know this is a cause that matters a lot to her.

The hike is going to be way longer than any I’ve done for a while (over 100 miles if I get as far as I plan). It’s in England, and, my family will be joining where they can. Sadly the pandemic has made it too difficult to arrange a bigger walking group.

My aim is to write some postcard style blogs en route to let you know how it’s all going. I’d love your company if you have the time to read. I hope I’ll have the energy to write.

I have set up a JustGiving Page, and I’d be so grateful if you were able to give any amount at all.

These are the ladies (school friends) who inspired me to start walking. This was in 2018. The walk was organised by a friend in Madrid - the rest of us were from UK, South Africa, France and Australia. Sadly we cannot walk together now because of Covid.

2020 – something to try at home

London during the spring lockdown of 2020

Hello out there (or in there),

I hope that wherever you are, all is as well as possible with you and your families.

My apologies for the long silence from The Phraser. My excuse is that I’m trying to write a novel. When I set off with this grand, novel-writing plan, I did not realise how difficult it would be. There has been some progress, but I’m still not sure in which direction.

London Unmasked

London – during lockdown 2020

Four months of lockdown is a long time.

The door has opened slowly over the last few weeks but life still feels strangely slow motion, especially here in the City of London.
