I don't need or expect anything in return for my efforts. That's not what I meant when I said about being taken for granted.

I've arranged a couple of walks to coincide with Mitch's camping week for the last 2 years and both years, he very kindly gave me a bottle to show his appreciation...but I didn't expect it. I'm not really much of a drinker anyway, to be honest.
If someone wants to buy me a coffee after a walk, then that's really nice...but I don't need any more than that.

I avoid disappointment, I never expect anything. The company on a walk is reward enough.🙂
LWLazlo Woodbineand Tracey my very very dearest friend I will continue to do so because I very much appreciate what you do for my camping week and I have always known you did not do walks for any gain just sincerely because you wanted but I so much wanted to show my appreciation.x
