@BillLankfordDG Well that’s good to know because I’ve been stressing about my pace!

[Carol Norris @NorrisCarol4]

My running has gone from a reasonable pace (8.5 min miles) on the flat Cambridgeshire roads to usually over 9 min miles on the uneven and muddy trails and hills around my house here in France. I’ve no idea whether I’ve got fitter or less fit but I am loving the trail running!

I don’t like the look of this pork 🥺🥺

[Carol Norris @NorrisCarol4]

Anyone fancy a running challenge for next week? Open to everyone and different options available. No cost. https://t.co/E6IX9DUOqp

Our French kittens Foxy and Jazz are growing up fast. Top photos taken today. Next week is a big step for them when they’ll be allowed outside into the French countryside!

@CharlesAnyan @LincsShowground I didn’t go on here for a while and I remember you doing the first 5k and I come back on Twitter and suddenly you’re faster than me!

@kimbersbaker @HyvidoPM My record step count when I had a Fitbit was on a day with hours of dancing. 65000 steps.

Rob is converting our old piggery into a mini gîte.

@SuzBarratt Ah thank you! My elderly French neighbour said something to me about being careful and watch out for kidnappers, I thought he was joking!

Getting myself a bit of a name round here as “la joggeuse”. I have literally only seen one other runner since October, hence the shouts of “bravo!” and “bon courage” as I run by 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♂️

[Carol Norris @NorrisCarol4]

@DavidPRushmer Afraid not! We literally had thousands of acorns in our back garden when we arrived in October and many of them are sprouting now! So many oak trees round here!

[Carol Norris @NorrisCarol4]

Hoping for an oak tree for each of my grandchildren 💕

@russbmckenzie @Channel4 Yeah the theme seems to be “leave everything to the last minute!”

[Carol Norris @NorrisCarol4]

@russbmckenzie @Channel4 We’ve been watching that! They don’t tell you about all the behind-the-scenes bureaucracy though!

Hanging the washing out and this is my view. The sun is shining, it’s warm, I was visited by a giant bumblebee and I can hear woodpeckers #vienne

[Carol Norris @NorrisCarol4]

@CharlesAnyan A speedy chunky monkey 🐒

[Carol Norris @NorrisCarol4]

@CharlesAnyan @BillLankfordDG @DavidPRushmer Not bad hey?

[Carol Norris @NorrisCarol4]

View tonight over the field where we are waiting for planning permission for our glamping site.

A lovely spring day here in Adriers and I’ve been clearing an area for some wild flower planting. Who needs a workout?
