We travelled to Nottingham to meet my nephew and his lady for lunch. I clocked up quite a few steps walking between the car park and restaurant. When I got home I topped them up with a quick local walk in the afternoon sunshine.

I took a window of sunshine during a showery day to walk into my local town. I was curious to see the new trees and shrubs that were being introduced to the town square. I arrived to find that it was a work in progress and was impressed with what I saw. Unfortunately there were too many large vehicles (involved in installing the plants) obscuring the view so I wasn’t able to take a photograph.

I shortened my planned circular route home to avoid a rain cloud that was heading in my direction. My timing was perfect, I stepped inside just as the heavens opened.

Today was sunshine and showers. I didn’t manage to completely dodge the rain but I managed to capture the sun and sit and ‘rest a while’ on a favourite bench by my local pool. It was rather quiet there, so no photos of that location.

Exploring a new pathway I was pleasantly surprised to find that it led to one of my special places to ’sit and rest a while’ avoiding narrow routes and routes that are more busy than usual.

This new route has given me many possibilities to get back to my longer (almost daily) pre lockdown local walks, avoiding the busy pathways.

I like to step out and choose which way to go on a whim as I start to walk.

No maps, just me enjoying the local pathways, tuning into nature and seeing how the pathways connect up, enjoying random encounters with strangers along the way.

As part of the garden project the front of the house has also been tackled. The small island border has been removed and re-turfed. The euonymus has been relocated to the back garden and the daffodil bulbs are temporarily in a pot. I like the new look :-)

Clean lines

Whilst working on the front garden I noticed that we had a new neighbour. For a few weeks I had seen him flying around with two companions and was surprised to see that he had taken up temporary residence in what looks like a very uncomfortable position!
