12 weeks ...

... until The Challenge and I persuaded my walking buddy Stephen to help me take part in Scotland The World Over!

Fab nine miles around Guiting Power, Kineton and Hawling today with lots of random conversations about "stuff".

Home now to fire going, 6 hours slow roast pork just about to go in the oven and an afternoon of Sunday papers and doing my Christmas present shopping online.

Stephen has got further physical exertions this afternoon as he's going home to dig up and then replant some trees.

I know what I'd rather be doing.
