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.

Before I embarked on my walk I picked up the new ‘Telford Town Park’ guidebook and ventured into the Town Centre to pay in a cheque. I walked through Southwater, the children’s adventure area and along the top level next to Withy Pool before setting off on a walk behind the rugby club. It was a new path for me and I wasn’t sure where it would lead to. The path led to many places and my choices at the various crossroads made for an enjoyable circular walk ending back where I started, next to the rugby club.

Before completing my walk with a visit to the Chelsea and Maxwell Gardens I sat on a bench to enjoy the company of the first goose family that I encountered on my arrival in the Town Park.

Today, I walked to Leegomery Pools via a post box and noticed some cute social distancing markers along the way.

Rather than seeking food, the Heron I saw fishing a few days ago was surveying his domain from the middle of the pool.

Nearby I heard a commotion and spotted newly born goslings. A couple of seagulls were swooping in but the adult geese shooed them away.

Why did the goose cross the road?

It seems these geese were looking for somewhere to drink…
