Time is in the mind, space is in the mind. The law of cause and effect is also a way of thinking. In reality all is here and now and all is one. Multiplicity and diversity are in the mind only.

The weather was a little chilly and the sky rather overcast leading to a walk that blew away the cobwebs. Along the way a encountered two former colleagues and a Police Officer looking for a homeless person with an aggressive dog setting up a shelter in the woodland area.
I had a brief conversation with the Police Officer and confirmed that I hadn’t seen anything untoward. He bid me goodbye saying, enjoy the rest of your walk.
I continued my walk around Apley Pool where I saw several shelters around the pool that had been erected by fishermen just doing their thing.

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

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.

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.
