The Long Way Round
After my Thursday afternoon volunteering as a School Reader at a local shcool I took the long route home via Leegomery pool.

Post Shift Blooms
I am really enjoying my volunteering opportunity in Visitor Reception at Attingham Park. I work alongside some lovely people both permanent staff and volunteers.
I am so grateful for this opportunity to fulfil one of the aspirations I held when I took early retirement.
My post volunteering walks are a bonus but… I am already thinking towards autumn and pre volunteering walks.

Sunday Breakfast in Spoons
One of our friends arranged a breakfast gathering because her family were over from Germany for a few days.
There was much fun and laughter and the extensive menu options proved a challenge for some. For me, the small vegetarian breakfast hit the sweet spot.
All too soon it was time to part ways leaving Mr C and I in the ‘not quite’ ready to go home mood. We eventually settled on a visit to Bridgnorth where we had fun on the recently re-opened cliff railway.
We took the train down the cliff from high town to low town and enjoyed a delightful walk along the river bank where I saw my first goslings of the year. One of the goslings was so cute and funny, climbing up the steep river bank then slipping and rolling back down, only to be determined to reach the preferred spot for grazing.
As we made our way back to the cliff railway to ascend into high town Mr C helped a young jogger who tripped over a curb and hurt herself.
Back in high town we sought out ‘cake’ and settled on Violet’s Tea Room, where we knew we could sit outside and soak up the rays even if it was a little chilly. We both chose ginger and lemon cake which was delicious.
After our ‘naughty cake’ indulgence, we headed off home in time for our usual Sunday pre-dinner aperitif with Mr C’s parents.

Cherie’s Place – Thought for the Week
The ‘paradox’ is only a conflict between reality and your feeling of what reality ‘ought’ to be.

Birmingham Bull
Last weekend Mr C purchased two suits in Birmingham. They required tailoring so this weekend we returned to pick them up. This gave me the opportunity for a healthy walk around Birmingham follwed by an indulgent browse around Boundary Mill on our way home.
