We’ve been living here in Cork, Ireland in the same neighborhood for almost three years but there are still surprises when you walk. Today on our way to the castle we took a route that led us through and around the old Ursuline Convent (now pricey condominiums) and to the front of the Ursuline School and then down to Blackrock Village.

It was a nice change and added steps. I’m very pleased with my pace today and my stride has improved since I’ve spent more time stretching when I wake up in the morning.



I received a reflexology treatment today and I will be interested to see if it has any effect on our walk tomorrow. I was fortunate enough to win a voucher from The Nature Clinic for a treatment from Rosi Lalor. She is a lovely person!
