Still receiving donations…thanks

Well folks, not written anything since I got back, was surprised to see that people are still reading my blog, it all seems so long ago now.  I find myself thinking back to my adventures on the walk and remembering the different places and characters.  I am still walking but just for fun, I am also cycling a lot too, and I have kept my fitness up.
When I came back Alice organised a great homecoming party to thank all my supporters, we had a good night and raised even more money, another £760 - to be honest I am waiting to hear from Alzheimer's Scotland how much exactly I have raised….so far and  I say so far because today my pal John gave me £350 which was raised at Betty Crookston's funeral.  I never met Betty but from what I hear she was a great character and well liked. She lived life to the full enjoying baking, playing bowls, dancing but most of all is remembered for her fun sense of humour and spent many happy times in Spain.  I appreciate Betty's friends and family making this very generous donation and I will send it in to add to the total raised from my walk.
By the way, I am planning a walk from Inverness to Bannockburn to coincide with the 700 anniversary celebrations leaving on the 12 June and arriving in Bannockburn on the 22 June, if anyone is interested in joining me, let me know!
