So what's this all about?

Hello,

Welcome to my blog, it's so nice of you to stop by.  I've been keeping a blog of my marathon training and really enjoyed it.  Unfortunately my training has been temporarily stopped due to tendonitis and shin splints and I began to miss blogging.  I found myself wanting to write about other things so I've started this blog to do just that.

Within the last week I have taken my first tiny steps back towards employment after many years of ill health by signing up to volunteer with my local river Conservation Trust.  I'm still studying part time so I'm easing myself in to the responsibilities of working life slowly whilst I finish my degree.  I'll be attending clean up sessions, adopting a stretch of river to keep an eye on and hopefully (when they get back to me) I'll get some shifts in the visitor centre too.

I've also just heard today that the funding has finally been sorted for a garden share scheme which will allow me to tend and grow vegetables in the garden of a lovely elderly lady who can no longer tend the garden herself. 

I plan to use this blog to chart my progress in these two areas and will be updating a couple of times a week. I may sometimes stray off the path, you might get treated to a nice recipe or an anecdote about something else but the main purpose is volunteering.  I hope you'll come back and visit me again soon.
