The fine weather gave us opportunity to have a lunch date on our patio with my mother and father in law. It being Good Friday we had toasted hot cross bun accompanied with a glass or rose Prosecco.

Mr C and I then went for an afternoon walk in Telford Town Park. I was wonderful to see families out enjoying themselves in the afternoon sunshine (appropriately distanced). We soon got away from the busy area of the park onto quieter pathways, some of which I had not walked before.

Later after ‘Fine Dining’ (Seabass with salsa and asparagus) we visited my mum and attempted the ‘Pub night’ quiz from the local newspaper. We didn’t do to well. Maybe next time…

In early 2020 an unexpected virus arrived affecting our lives, causing us to stay at home for a while to stop the virus spreading and getting out of control. During this time Captain Tom Moore inspired many people with his uplifting spirit of life and walks round his garden to raise money for the NHS.

It was an honour to walk in memory of him on the day of his funeral and pledge my miles as a donation to his Charity Foundation. I was joining others from the #walk1000miles community walking their own miles to celebrate his life.

Mr C accompanied me for what turned out to be a 5 mile walk so my donation will be doubled to £20.

My afternoon walk took my to Leegomery Pools. The goslings have grown such a lot that I almost didn’t spot them. After my circuit of the pool I decided to walk back on a route that I had explored last year.

Walking on this pathway home I noticed another pathway going off in a different direction, just waiting to be explored. I tried a few twists and turns eventually choosing a long curvy pathway that eventually led me back to Leegomery Pools from where I returned home via Woodhenge.

PS: I have a severe case of lockdown hair!

A warm sunny windy day lead me to adventure out on a different pathway.

After recent difficulties most of my local pathways have resumed to normality and are less crowded.  I am back in a place where walkers, cyclists and runners respect each other and in these current times respect social distancing.

Happy Days
