On Sunday we all joined in the Pink Walk (AKA Run for Life) but here everyone can take part. It was a lovely walk on the opposite side of the Island to ‘home’. A large crowd of men, women, children and dogs gathered at Princes Lodge for a 3pm start. We set off for the hour or so walks around some of the most extreme roads I have ever walked! It was a beautiful day and it was time to catch up with the latest news.
Henry walked with Deanna (Piccolo neighbours daughter, also studying at Prince Andrew School) and was soon nowhere to be seen whilst those of us less fit maintained a steady pace. We were joined by Paula, bob and Pip and we were soon exchanging pleasantries with Tamara, the governor’s wife, Susan (my boss), her daughter Cherie and Lyn a fellow French class student to name a few. On return to Princes Lodge, after being berated by Henry for ‘taking too long’, we enjoyed tea and cakes and handed in our sponsor money!
We were quite tired after the exertion up and down steep mountain tracks, but had a very enjoyable day out all in a good cause and a promise to meet with Tamara and her dog Wellington the following Sunday for a walk through Plantation Forest with Smudge and Pippy.
