These Boots Were Made For Walking
When I heard about Walk to Work week I jumped at the chance to get involved. Admittedly it may have had something to do with the offer of a free pedometer and a voucher for a muffin and a hot drink, but still, that’s not the point. So as of 2pm I clipped on and … Continue reading

New year, same old resolutions
Let’s face it, I’ve been pretty bad at blogging during 2011.
