Wish we'd kept track from the beginning of lockdow

Wish we'd kept track from the beginning of lockdown, but over the last 5 weeks alone we've covered 236.81 km - that's 147.14 miles. Each week we've walked more than a marathon 🥳 So grateful to @guyjharris66 for his commitment to our morning walks. 💕💕Even though he's still working very long days from home, often with calls not finishing till after midnight, he has been getting up every single morning rain or shine to walk with me before 7am. 💞💞(Although today I let him sleep till 8am as it's Sunday! 😂😂)

Good morning from our garden! I've done a bit of a mini tour my stories if you are interested 😀 If you do have the sound on, I've noticed I say 'favourite' a lot! 😂 And there may be some debate as to what my favourite flowers actually are....
