Not like my usual three-weekly posting schedule at all!<BR/><BR/>And you are so right about looking back at old photos. I look back at teenage photos and wonder what, exactly, I thought was wrong with me.<BR/><BR/>Scoliyogi - we were based in Sidmouth, though we also made little excursions to Lyme Regis, Budleigh Salterton and Beer. It was much as you describe. I suspect it's a lot busier if you go in the summer rather than late September, since the schools were back by then.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14530845147391401083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11449131.post-52290854709580991232008-10-15T08:56:00.000+00:002008-10-15T08:56:00.000+00:00When I was little we used to go to Southwold in th...When I was little we used to go to Southwold in the summer. It was all teashops and craft markets and shops that sold stones and old fashioned sweets. Beach huts and deck chairs and punch and judy.<BR/><BR/>These days Gordon Brown and half of Hampstead go. And I'm scared to go back. Perhaps Devon would suit me better. Whereabouts were you?Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14723667016158831955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11449131.post-5714663498888076662008-10-15T01:26:00.000+00:002008-10-15T01:26:00.000+00:00How did I miss this post?

However, in looking at photos from ten or twenty years ago, I realize that I didn't look as bad as I thought I did - I wouldn't mind having those bodies back at all! By extension, I suspect that ten or twenty years from now, I may look at photos taken now and wonder what I was fussing about.<BR/><BR/>I now suspect that although improving our well-being is important, it's equally important to accept and enjoy our bodies as they are.Tanya Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919250829858831002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11449131.post-27359396713799306812008-10-14T21:29:00.000+00:002008-10-14T21:29:00.000+00:00I am absolutely certain that someone must have bee...I am absolutely certain that someone must have been saying that just out of earshot! Sadly, we didn't actually eat any clotted cream, although we did have honey and clotted cream ice cream, which ought to count.<BR/><BR/>As for the Great Winter Run... yes, I do need some kind of incentive. I also need to be less busy. Do you think you can train for a 5K in roughly six weeks which include Christmas?Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14530845147391401083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11449131.post-32653044059774951752008-10-14T18:24:00.000+00:002008-10-14T18:24:00.000+00:00I hope you also overheard something along the line...I hope you also overheard something along the lines of "More clotted cream, Muriel?". <BR/><BR/>You know, Painfully Fluffy originated from someone making a comment about me and it sticking, this was at age 17, and it still fits.Rosemary Riveterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09114557203546642161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11449131.post-45250655288948510122008-10-14T11:47:00.000+00:002008-10-14T11:47:00.000+00:00I'm telling you there is some sort of essence of s...I'm telling you there is some sort of essence of slug in the atmosphere at the moment - just about everyone I know is affected. Maybe you'll have to give yourself an incentive (Great Winter Run? Hint hint!)<BR/><BR/>And "Joyce, what did you do with my teacake" is now my phrase of the day.
