WALKING WITH RAMILA

RAMILA SAYS…

I really look forward to the walks, it’s really good to meet new people and it’s more fun and safer to go in a group. The walking is something for me, a way of looking after myself. I just leave the housework and go! I’ve learnt lots from the walks. they’ve shown me places I didn’t know and plants I’d not seen before, and reintroduced me to places I’d not been to for years.

WALKING WITH JOHN…

WALKING WITH JOHN…

JOHN SAYS….

At the end of the day them walks…then we

have a chit chat don’t we. That walk – the day after

you feel it! Mixing with different people that aren’t

your neighbours – have a chat with different

people about different things. It was a bit hard last

week but you’ve got to try and conquer things.
