Most towns these days have gyms, and our town is no different. There are many, actually, more than enough, in fact. I have never been a member of one in my life! It's something that I have considered in

We are told that on the horizon is another heat wave coming. I say, bring it on! July weather tends to be a bit of a mix these days, alternating between low pressure systems and more settled hot periods.

Our plan for today was to go to the beach, but as the weather was not suitable, we decided to go to Butlins Holiday Resort in Bognor Regis. Temperatures were in the region of 18° when we left, but it was

I took a late evening walk to the local supermarket. I'm lucky enough to have two large supermarkets within walking distance, and it only took me 8 minutes to get there! There were two reasons for this.

These public park protection orders and regulations are very well displayed for all to see, but they need to be enforced and policed somehow. I suppose the ground staff would fit this job, but they can't

We are now well past the summer solstice, and it is evident that the evening sun is setting much earlier now. August is just about to start, but in typical fashion, our english weather is mixed. Tomorrow,

Continuing along with trying to fit in looking after grandchildren and catching up with other things, which can be a bit frustrating when everyone wants a piece of you! 😬. I am also surprised at how tanned

Holiday memories are fresh in the mind. 🏖🏝 After the return flight arriving in the early hours, today was to be a day of doing as little as possible, but the plan didn't turn out like that! All the usual

Our last day of our vacation 😢. Travelling back overnight is not good, but that's part of the experience. As I write this the following morning, we arrived back in the UK at 02.45 hrs! 🫩 We enjoyed our

There are some splendid examples of unusual plants and trees here in the Canary Islands. Well, unusual to me anyway! 😆. This picture of a tree with huge seed pods is one example. At lunchtime today, we

After all the recent days walking around this beautiful island, it was time to just chill on the beach! Well, actually, at the bar as well! 🤣 Our accommodation is a 15-minute walk down the hill to the

Oasis Wildlife Park in Fuerteventura is always a great place to spend some time. In fact, it will take you all day to see everything here, as it is that big! We have been here many times now, but we always

It was market day here in Caleta de Fuste. After breakfast, we headed straight to the place where the market is situated, next to the main road through town. There were lots of stalls there, mainly bags,

Our destination for a bus ride today was the main port town of Puerto del Rosario. It was our first visit to this part of the island of Fuerteventura. We headed for the harbour area initially for some

Our first day of fun on the island of Fuerteventura included a walk to the beach, which was about a mile from where our accommodation is. No big deal as we have no time constraints of course! 🤣 It was

After a late delayed flight and a huge queue to get through passport control at our destination airport, we finally settled into our accommodation at half past midnight. It was too late to get my @actifit

Enjoy the blue sky! We might not see it for a while, with weather systems coming in from the southwest. In fact, we have a yellow alert for thunderstorms tonight. As I write this @actifit report, I can

Tilgate Park is such a great place for all the family to enjoy. I often come here to ride my mountain bike but also to visit on other occasions with some of my family too. It has so much to offer. Just

No rain this morning! The weather system is passing us by and leaving us dry. Temperatures at about 24°C. Perfect! So, setting off via Goffs park today heading for Tilgate next. Passing by a small lake

We are getting quite excited about an upcoming vacation. Yes, you heard that right, another one! It was only six weeks ago that we returned from the last holiday. Maybe we will take some hot weather with
