Where's the Month Going?

OMG - I can't quite believe we are now half way through May so if I stand a chance of getting 15 blog posts on for this month I had better pull up my socks and get going!

Nordic Walking has rather taken over my life as the big push and campaign to get my local community into this form of exercise really began in earnest this month.  Flyers delivered through letter boxes is not as easy as it seems - I have far more respect for postmen and women up and down the land!

May is national walking month here in England


and this Friday is also going to be my contribution to International Nordic Walking Day
 - so there's a big push to get things done to celebrate that.  So far I am delighted with the support I have got, as early on I was told that it would be nigh impossible to get anyone interested!!  Oh yea of little faith - I'm used to motivating young children to sit down and learn difficult things so adults are just putty in my hands!!

If anyone out there in the blogging world is willing to help me by leaving a comment on my community project blog or "likes" on the Facebook page then let me know by e-mail pempispalace@yahoo.co.uk and I'll send you the relevant links.  I am an absolute "newbie" on social media for this type of thing so if anyone has suggestions on what I should be doing then let me know!!

I do feel it's lovely to be back on my blog and am looking forward to catching up with you all over the next couple of weeks.  What's been going on for you since the beginning of May - you know I'd love to know?

  1. Sounds like a great project. Walk a bit for me. I am still healing from my toe surgery. Otherwise May is zooming along. Glad you are well.

    1. When I read your blog, Paula, I don't think you have a problem - you normally are "run off your feet"!!
