Photo by Karolina Grabowska on Pexels.com Last Sunday of October and we get an extra hour. I used to find it difficult to adjust to this concept loosing an hour in March and gaining an hour in October. I am loving it today though.

Steps
It is getting cold now in the north of England. Cozy blankets and couch comforts are much more welcome than counting steps. After a few weeks, yesterday I was able to get to my ten thousand steps.
