I walk to my Thursday volunteering session at my local school whatever the weather. Usually the weather is kind to me but today it was a little damp.

Later in the day we dined out at the Bear Inn, Hodnet for a birthday celebration.

D Day Landings - Day Ten

Lunchtime Destination

I needed to visit the Madely dental practice to drop off a form for my mum and by the time this had been done it was time for lunch. After a bit of thought Western Park seemed a suitable place but on arrival, we found the café was closed.

Formal Gardens

We resumed our journey, pondering a suitable alternative for lunch. As luck would have it, I spotted a sign for Boscobel House which I know has a good café. I settled for a jacket potato with beans which was served tastefully with a side salad.

After lunch we walked to White Ladies Priory. I have always wanted to do this walk but on previous visits there has not been enough time. The sun was out bathing us in a warm glow and also showcasing the distant Shropshire hills.

Blueberry & Banana Cake

I enjoyed my walk ‘there and back again’. Afterwards a naughty cake (blueberry and banana) was calling me… The cake was delicious, and  being able to sit outside in the sunshine was an added bounus.  A resiedent robin came to our table to share a few crumbs that had been left behind.

No Mow May

After my volunteering shift at Attingham Park it was good to be able to set off for a walk, my first opportunity for two days. On Sunday we had a lovely family gathering to celebrate my brother’s birthday and on Monday I accompanied my mum to the hospital plaster room after her recent fall.

The blooms and spring greenery are stunning at this time of year and my walk was accompanied by the music of birdsong. During my volunteering session it was lovely that several visitors, as they were leaving stopped to say how much they had enjoyed their visit.
