A Monumental Pint!

This is not a marathon post...

...you won't see one of those from me anytime soon lol, 😃 

but massive kudos to those of you out there who are smashing it! 👏 💪 

Here I am enjoying a well earned pint of 'Monumental' blonde bitter with Mr G over the bank holiday weekend! 🍻 

Not one to miss a spot of symbolism, it was an appropriately named beverage! 

I am slowly building up my fitness (not for lifting pints lol!) & we went for a walk up a fell in the Lake District. 🚶‍♀️‍➡️ ⛰️ 

This would be absolutely nothing to so many people or the former me, 

but, it's been 3 years since I climbed anything more tasking than our staircase or the local hill....& OH MY DAYS did I feel it!!! 😲 

I don't mind sharing, 

I was close to tears at how difficult I found it & how much I have declined physically. 🥹 

However, I can be a stubborn bugger & so I did it! 

Amelie, our youngest 14 year old daughter was with us, 

she can come out with the most hilarious statements at times, 

& some of the wisest & this occasion was definitely the latter;

"mum, just think about what you've done with your business, this is just the same, you can keep going." 

God bless her heart! ❤️ 

I also believe that laughter is the best medicine & that we can find humour in almost every situation, 

so we laughed a lot...my cackle would have been heard for miles around! 🤣 🧙 

So tips for success includes support, laughter & beer! 😜 

Keep on keeping on, do what you can, hang out with the right people, challenge yourself, build strength & have the odd pint! 🍺 

Potentially motivating musings from the non bitter blonde! 😃
