Never too old

A beautiful day, though it started chilly, with a breeze.
Mr Rat was a pacer at parkrun, I walked it and was pleased to get round in less than 50mins, including a couple of stops to take pics. I'd decided a really brisk walk would probably do the knee good as it would get a good stretch and it seems to have helped.
The guy in the pic is over 75 and still comes out most weeks and gives everyone cheery smiles. He was several times Scottish Hill Champion for his age group and clearly loves to be out. 
In the afternoon we went for another walk up Carrot and Dodd Hills, not big or long but great views (one in extras). We didn't amble but neither did we really push it, though did do a short section of healther bashing.
Other activities included 2 loads of washing (and more ironing), a trip to the tip an dmaking crab apple jelly.
It might sound exhausting but there was time to relax in between the various things.
