Chilling in a wet Pembrokeshire

Have actually had a few nice days here but normal weather resumed this afternoon. We're having a few days rest and exercise at our caravan to recuperate from the tiring business of retirement! Have spent a pleasant afternoon reading, browsing the net and relaxing while the rain hammers on the roof. It's a most satisfying sound, while being snug and dry inside and something you don't experience in a house. A tent can be similar but you're never quite as cosy and you need the contrast to feel sufficiently smug!

Actually we have set aside this week for some serious exercise with our friend TB who is a fitness trainer. He's had us running or walking up hill, down dale, across the beach, up steps, only avoiding anywhere near cliffs as he's scared of heights. My legs have been throbbing and I was quite relieved when todays session turned out to be stretching and flexibility in the cramped confines of the caravan. This is all part of the planning for our summer trip which is only 5 weeks away now.

TB has been an important part of our lives for several years. When Mr Mogs developed heart disease a few years back his guidance was invaluable and we owe our present happy state of fitness to him. Neither of us are the sort to get addicted to exercise, in fact it's a bit of a struggle to push ourselves to do any so having someone to both encourage us to train regularly and enable us to get the maximal benefit for the least effort is great. We're not athletes but are fit for our age and able to enjoy whatever we want to do with sufficient energy, strength and stamina
