Hi everyone,

Just to say that Walk Talk Walk is now taking place at 18.15 every Tuesday (instead of 10.15am).

I hope lots of you will be able to join.

Hi Everyone! Howard you all doing?
It's been a long time since I have done a post.

All is good with the walking group. We have not stopped walking with people joining, leaving, coming back. We've laughed, we've moaned, we've got wet, cold but we kept walking.

The beauty of this group is that there is no pressure to be there every Tuesday, no pressure to talk, no pressure at all. Just be yourself!

Thank you to Debbie, Brian, Sam and Angus for joining today.

I just have one notice: the WTW group will not be running from Tuesday 25th June until Tuesday 23rd July.

The WTW group will RESUME on TUESDAY 30th JULY. I look forward to seeing you all again and hopefully meeting new people.

Meanwhile, have a peaceful week and stay safe.

Hi Everyone. How are you all doing?
The walking group is still running (PUN 😂) even if I have not been very consistent with my posts.
Today, there were the five of us and we were joined by one new person in the name of Suzanne. Welcome and I hope that we will see you again.
I really enjoyed catching up with my walking buddies, there is some much happening in the week that we always have something to talk about.
If you like walking or talking or you feel a bit lonely or you just love meeting new people or you need to exercise or you like the outdoors, whatever the reason, please come along. There is no pressure in keeping it up and you are allowed to be you in this group.

NEW ANNOUNCEMENT: as from Tuesday 27th February we will meet at 10.15am and start the walk at 10.30am.

Have a peaceful week and stay safe.

Hello everyone and a Very Happy New Year to all my walking buddies 🥳

I would like to thank Brian for being brave enough to still go for a walk this morning. He thought he would rename the group again, just for today, to "Swim Talk Swim" 😂
Thanks Brian for the photo.

Walk Talk Walk Stratford upon Avon will be back and walking as normal on Tuesday 9th January.
Come and join us...it's good fun, friendly, gentle and healthy too!

Have a peaceful week and stay safe.

Hello everyone, how are you doing?

Yesterday we had a lovely surprise joining the group in the name of Goi. Goi normally runs in the evening with Run Talk Run Stratford upon Avon, but because of an injury she decided to give a go to walking. Walking? I mean limping really. Actually as Debbie and Bryan were also limping, we decided to rename the group "Limp Talk Limp" just for the day 😂

It doesn't matter how fit you are, the group is opened to anybody who likes walking, listening, talking (or not).

I would like to attract people's attention to the lethal stone slab just outside Poundland. As you can see on the photo, it's sticking out a lot and is a real hazard if you're not paying attention to where you're walking.

Finally, we got very excited when we bumped into Santa outside the Post Office. He's definitely getting ready for next week!

Have a peaceful week and stay safe.

Hello everyone. How are you doing?

I have not posted for a couple of weeks because I am forgetful and Life is pretty busy for me at the moment. I am absolutely enjoying my gardening job and the outdoors. Plus I am learning so much with my boss.

I would like to welcome Julie who joined us today for the first time. I think Julie is going to be a challenge as she is full of energy: is it time for me to find some new/longer routes around Stratford! I do like a good challenge occasionally 😄

I would like to say Hi to Brian, Lee and Chris who could not join today. I hope you are all well.

We were blessed again today with the weather, sunny and crisp. It is cold but you feel so so good after the walk.

Have a peaceful week and stay safe.

Hello Everyone. How are you doing/feeling today?

We were blessed again with the weather for our Walk Talk Walk on Tuesday. It's always nice to see old faces like Sam who comes when she can. Debbie is a definite regular and Chris and Brian are becoming addicted to the group.

That is the beauty of this group: it's "come as you are, be yourself and there's no pressure in you coming" because this group is a safe place for you ☺️🥰 and is open to you anytime.

If you want to know where this beautiful display of crocheted poppies is, just go for a little wander via Scholar's Lane.

Have a peaceful week and stay safe.

Hi Everyone, how are you doing/feeling?

I would like to officially welcome Brian and Chris who both joined us on our walk today. And also, welcome back Kerrie, it was lovely catching up with you. Again, we were very lucky with the weather and managed about 3.5km. Not bad!

We then went for a coffee and chatted even more than we did on the walk. It sounds like the post walk coffee is going to become a once a month habit!!

Some people in the group confided how scared and nervous to come along on the first time. I will be honest, I was so scared to start the Walk Talk Walk Stratford upon Avon group that it took me 3 months to make the jump. I have no regrets about it.

But I can guaranty you one thing, once you have made that jump, lots of good things/vibes happen.

We are a group, NOT a club. So it is come as you are, be yourself and come when you are able to. It is a friendly and non-judmental group.

If you are interested in joining Walk Talk Walk Stratford upon Avon, message me or sign up for free on the App Heylo.

Stay safe and have a peaceful week.

Hi Everyone. How are you doing/feeling?

It's been a long time, but do not worry the Walking group is still going (as you can see from the photos of the last 3 weeks).

Again, yesterday was a great walk even with just the 2 of us. Sometimes, it's good to be a small group as it gives you the chance to know each better. But it's also lovely having more people as you get to chat a lot going around these people.

If you want to unload, upload, download, chat, laugh, share some tears in a safe, friendly and non-judgmental environment, just join us!
Stay safe and have a peaceful week.

Hi everyone! How are you feeling today?

Apologies for my late post, Life just got in the way! But not the weather: Debbie and I braved the wind yesterday and we had a fabulous walk around Shottery. And last week, with Sevil and Debbie we braved the rain. Nothing will stop us to go for a walk and see each other, chat and laugh. So bring on the snow now, we can take it!

Have a peaceful week and stay safe.

P.S. the group is going for a coffee (and maybe cake!) after the walk on Tuesday 26th September, so message me if you want to join us for the walk and/or coffee.

Hi Everyone! How are you doing today?

As usual we have had a lovely and gentle walk along the river opposite Tiddington Road. I think the weather turned everybody on the walk in a good mood, but also the prospect of seeing the others and talking/catching up personally makes me very happy 😁(and I hope the others feel the same).

It's just sooooo good being outdoor (rain or shine). It's even better being outdoor with lovely people. We were all pleased to welcome back Sevil who has been very busy over the summer and I am grateful for Mike, Vera and Kerrie for coming today. You are all such great company!

We talked a lot about our travelling experiences and it is fascinating to listen to people's stories.

Lee could not make it today but I can confirm that he is now the proud owner of a kitten. Can't wait to see pictures.

We are planning to go for a coffee after our walk on Tuesday 26th September. So if you don't want to walk but you'd like to join us for a coffee, just message me here or on instagram. Venue tbc.

Tomorrow, I am going to work along a garden designer as a gardening assistant. It's going to be my first time and it's going to be very hot🥵 So wish me good luck!

Have a peaceful week and stay safe.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Hi everyone, how are you doing?

Today, Debbie and I had the pleasure to welcome Kerrie to the walking group for the first time.

We were lucky with the weather and we had a lovely walk full of chatter, honesty and laughter too. We were chatting so much that we were back to Lifeways Charity Centre before even realising it!

It is not easy to make new friends when you have just moved to a new area but it is not impossible. There is plenty out there for you to meet new people, just look and don't be scared to join any group.

I say it again and again but for me joining Run Talk Run Stratford upon Avon was the best 2022 decision and creating Walk Talk Walk Stratford upon Avon was the best 2023 decision I made.

If you feel lonely, if you like gentle walking or gentle running and you want to have a laugh or a moan, join us. And the beauty of our groups is that you just need to come as you are 😁🤪🤪

Have a peaceful week and stay safe.
