Got a message from Julie who came to stay with us a couple of weeks ago, she's cycling from Kirkenes, northern Norway, to Helsinki. She's originally from Greetland, next to Elland. I suggested that as she's taken to the west coast she could do a bit of island-hopping when she got down to the Turku / Åland Islands archipelago. She got onto national TV on Friday - starts at 19:34 (if the link works outside Finland):

We get a mention here: livingthislifeoutloudblog.wordpress.com/2018/05/17/finland-you-are-so-beautiful/

TV appearance: areena.yle.fi/1-4273718?autoplay=true

Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened
but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace,
like a clock during a thunderstorm.

I hope that I never become famous and someone trawls my contributions on this site looking for the odd post which may be offensive.

Force them to pluralise words by putting apostrophes in, then everyone will mock them as imbeciles!

I thought she cheeted somewhere.......

Did you introduce her to TB? - acouple of characters mentioned in this extract could be confused with you and Stabby...

This came true a few nights ago. A man….. failed to pass my three second radar scrutiny. He was a ‘bad’un’ as we say in Yorkshire, possibly under the influence of a substance. After some slimy inappropriate, unwanted attention, I decided to break camp and move. It was actually more of a stealth camp at a swimming spot. Stealth camps are often a little riskier by being closer to civilisation.

I was angry but also afraid.

No, I did not want to move, but knew I would be listening out for his return and wouldn’t sleep well…if at all. Later on reflection, I recognised that my Leatherman knife, would have been used if necessary. That sounds shocking, but it’s a possible scenario that needs to be thought about, when travelling alone.

I'm afraid she must have been tainted during her stay with us!
