Yesterday we parked at the park and ride outside York and walked along the paths through the country park and on along the river towpath into York. Shadow and I both had vanilla ice creams then I begged for some of Mum\u2019s which had toffee sauce on it. I\u2019m sorry to say she wouldn\u2019t share it. I don\u2019t really understand why there are so many walls in York that don\u2019t seem to have been finished. Mum said they were finished once but have since been knocked down, but to be honest that doesn\u2019t make much sense to me either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was very warm walking back again after our ice creams. Mum was checking the distance of the walk as it is the one we will be doing in October to raise money for Heidi. The difference&nbsp; then will be that we do it twice as we\u2019ll be walking ten miles. We only did about six altogether today. Shadow said she thought that was quite enough, but after a five minute rest I would have been happy to do it all again.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_4886.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"216\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_4886-216x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_4886-216x300.jpg 216w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_4886.jpg 324w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 216px) 100vw, 216px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Today we\u2019re going for another long walk, but this one will involve a forest so will be quite different to yesterday. Then tomorrow we\u2019re going to one of Mum\u2019s favourite places in the whole world, so I really hope I like it too as I\u2019d hate to disappoint her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dad seems to think these walks work quite well with Mum carrying everything we need in her rucksack and him not carrying anything. He did say could she remember to put a blanket in next time though. I don\u2019t think she was very impressed by the suggestion. I said I could help carry things, so she might get my rucksack out to take today too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find short stories to read at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfiedog.com\/\">www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book as well as our other books are available&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/s\/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=rosemary%20j%20kind\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>As it turns out, staying at home for a holiday is not so bad after all.
