But all I want to do now is go - move onwards (being held back for ten years by mental health issues is so futile). And the last two years of being told what to do, constantly, by everyone and everything has destroyed the momentum which was snowballing prior to Lockdown. Walking for charity has ceased. Walking for sanity has v...
