First thing this morning the sun was shining tempting me to visit Attingham Park for a walk in the woodlands. Before going out on any adventure I had to wait in for a routine maintenance visit scheduled between 8.30 and 13.30.
The maintenance man arrived at around 10 am, but for some reason a job that usually takes 15 to 20 minutes took almost an hour! By this time the sun had gone in an it was almost lunch time.
After lunch I decided that there was was not enough time to do Attingham Park justice so I chose to leave that visit for another day.
Earlier in the day my customised map for my local area (as inspired by Country Walking’s ‘Walk Every Path’) arrived.
This led to me revisiting a regular local walk to see how it had changed from my previous visit a few weeks ago. When I got to the pool views I sat and rested a while, watching the ducks, geese, seagulls and fish leaping out of the water.
Later in the day I was able to enjoy fine dining on the patio as the Waxing Crescent Moon came into view over our garden.

Set on a rolling hillside above the picturesque village of Cerne Abbas, the 180ft tall club-wielding man has long been regarded as a sign of fertility due to his large, erect phallus. It is not agreed how old the Cerne Abbas Giant is, but the most likely explanation is that he depicts Hercules, the god with super- human strength. Hence he was probably created as a pagan idol during the Iron Age period of Britain.
There is some evidence that the Giant may once have carried a cloak over the left arm and a severed head in his hand.
