First step to investing

Please welcome the newest member of our family

2.64 miles walked
You might wonder why I cut the top left hand corner on my walk/run. Well that is a parade of shops and I like to avoid as many people as I can. Saying that at 7-8am not many people are about. Don’t think the corner would make it 5k though, I shall have a think…
