The Anonymous Widower

Walking With Richard Dunwoody

I should say that at the moment, I’m to use a horse term, lame.

I trod on a razorshell on Holkham Beach and the doctor had to remove it.  Because of the discomfort, I’ve been holding my lower leg muscles tight and now they’ve all seized up.

Yesterday, I contributed to Richard Dunwoody’s 1000 Mile Charity fund and felt that it would be a good idea to go and support him and perhaps walk a mile.

As I suspected it would, my leg did seize up badly, but I did finish. 

I asked Richard whether on not he would do this again.  He said that it was very boring doing the same half mile of the Bury Road!  At least he’s less than twenty four hours to go.

It was all rather poignant for me, in that my late wife used to swim and run every morning from the Bedford Lodge Hotel.  If she had still been with us, she would have probably done two miles with Richard every morning.

I’ll be seeing Richard again, when he completes the walk by walking down the racecourse this afternoon.

There’s still time to contribute.
