My husband and I don't get much exercise these days. So we decided to take up walking. Our first outing in March was to Tintern Abbey from where we completed a near-vertical ascent to the top of a mountain (or at least that's what if felt like) to look at the view from the Devil's Pulpit - very aptly named! Today we were out again; another woodland walk that took in the ruins of Ruperra Castle near Newport. I was looking forward to a challenging (but flat!) walk, but we were presented with... yes that's right a near-vertical ascent to the top of a mountain! All paths (even on the way back) seemed to go uphill, which made Anthony comment that the walk must have been designed by Escher!
Both views were pretty special though (bad camera-work aside), and the weather today has been absolutely fantastic. Long may it continue! We both caught the sun , so it's
Soothing Face Masks all round. Cucumber and organic green clay will cool and soothe our sun-beaten skin. And my poor feet aren't yet used to such exertions, so I'm soaking them in a lovely foot bath with some
Soothe Mini Bath Tablets. The grapefruit and geranium aroma is very uplifting, and the calendula and shea butter will help to reduce any inflammation. I can hardly wait for the next outing ;-).
