Random thoughts and photos of my journey through life…
Today I was one of the walk leaders at Attingham Park. We only had one walker so we were able to adapt the walk route to show her additional points of interest. It was the hottest day of the year so far so the cool breezes from the river and shade from the woodland were quite welcome.
Later, after visiting mum in the care home we enjoying ‘fine dining’ on the patio before watching the sun set and the moon rise.

Thursday is the day I volunteer in a local school, helping children with their reading. I walk to and from the school and today I chose to walk home the long way round.
Back home I tried on a new dress I had ordered for my upcoming holiday in Cornwall, then chilled and read a book until it was time for ‘fine dining’ on the patio. The smoked salmon and horseradish fishcakes were delicious.

The morning was spent doing admin for mum, some of which required a visit to her bungalow. Then later we visited her in the care home where she has been for a while. She was very sleepy so we didn’t stay long.
On our way home we picked up the ingredients for our evening meal. By this time the sun had come out and I had just enough time for a local walk before ‘fine dining’ on the patio.

I was volunteering at Attingham Park, no chance of walking whilst scanning in visitors to the park. Later we visited family, so only a short walk today.
But beauty can be found on the doorstep.

My first walk of the day was with a friend at Dudmaston Hall. It was our second attempt at a walk there, our first attempt was a failure when to our surprise Dudmaston is not open on a Friday! Our walk was followed by lunch.
The weather was so lovely that when I returned home I decided to go on a local walk in and around Apley Woods.

The weather was looking favourable so Mr C decided today was the day to visit Harlech Castle which had been on his ‘To Do’ list for some time. Before set off he prepared some brisket and vegetables and put them in the slow cooker to bubble away whilst we were on our travels.
Along the way we stopped for lunch at the Bluebell Park Café where our choice of food was freshly prepared for us. We arrived in Harlech to glorious sunshine, perfect weather for exploring a castle.
Before heading home we had cake looking over the spectacular view of the Snowdonia peaks. We were accompanied by sparrows hopping on the table to pick up stray crumbs. One cheeky little Chappy thought he might do a duck and dive for my cake, even when I picked the plate off the table and held it closer to me. When I finally put the plate back on the table he returned, grabbed the largest crumb and flew off with it.
