After many sunny April days the sun was tired and put its hat in a box to recharge its batteries.

This meant that the ‘Boris’ walkers rather than regular dog walkers and walkers stopped at home giving me a window of opportunity to venture out on a much missed local walk.

The pathways were back to how I love them, apart from one occasion when a runner was charging (huffing and puffing) towards me with no care for anyone but themselves. No slowing down or moving to one side to let me pass by. I had to step around off the pathway to accommodate the runner.

I walked along my special off route path to see the Wisteria and Laburnum arches sprouting their blooms. And in that place where I have a special bench I was amazed to see that the lime tree (I think it is a Lime) was now in full leaf as were the pollarded limes that surround the trees location. I didn’t linger there as I normally would.

It was lovely to walk along my local pathways again. I have come up with a potential route, avoiding the ‘Boris Walker’ crowds to visit my local woodland area.
