My Actifit Report Card: April 03 2025

On my last walk, I decided to explore the stunning countryside of the Cotswolds. It was a crisp autumn day, and the leaves were a tapestry of reds, oranges, and yellows. I set off from the charming village of Bourton-on-the-Water, often referred to as the "Venice of the Cotswolds" because of its beautiful river running through the village.
