Lucy and I had quite a walk this evening as we delivered another 250 leaflets for the amazing charity Food Cycle, who turn donated leftover food into a tasty three course meal in various locations across Newcastle and Gateshead, available free for anyone who needs it. The streets we covered today all seemed to be built up steep hills with lots of the houses having steps or steep paths, so we had a great workout - exactly what GoodGym is all about! #DoGoodGetFit

We spotted a couple of unexpected things on our walk. Firstly one of the houses has a Roman Temple in the garden. I’ll say that again - a Roman Temple in the garden! Well it is Hadrian’s Wall country!

Secondly, some of you know that I have had incidents with dogs while delivering leaflets in the past. I thought a large dog had caught my eye in one garden. I was wrong - it was a lion! Thankfully of course, not real, but it still took a while for my heart rate to return to normal!

All in all a pleasant and productive evening. We’re doing it all again in Byker soon - I can’t guarantee lions or Roman artefacts but there’ll be a good walk with great company - what’s not to love?!
