September Step Count

September has been my best month this year! 328,307 steps at an average of 10,944 per day. This was due mostly to the railway challenge walks for Lymphoma Action (there will be more of these this month – head over there if you’d like to sponsor me!) and our first holiday abroad in over seven years.

We flew to Barcelona (it was our third attempt to get there, having been thwarted by cancer and covid previously), and then onward by high speed train to Tarragona. Both places are amazing and it would be great to return to them at some point in the future. H10 Hotels get a thumbs up from us – especially the H10 Art Gallery in Barcelona, where the staff were all incredibly welcoming.

Anyway, here are some pictures from our trip, rather than me rambling on and on …
