Today I was one of the walk leaders at Attingham Park. We only had one walker so we were able to adapt the walk route to show her additional points of interest. It was the hottest day of the year so far so the cool breezes from the river and shade from the woodland were quite welcome.

Later, after visiting mum in the care home we enjoying ‘fine dining’ on the patio before watching the sun set and the moon rise.

Thursday is the day I volunteer in a local school, helping children with their reading. I walk to and from the school and today I chose to walk home the long way round.

Back home I tried on a new dress I had ordered for my upcoming holiday in Cornwall, then chilled and read a book until it was time for ‘fine dining’ on the patio. The smoked salmon and horseradish fishcakes were delicious.

The morning was spent doing admin for mum, some of which required a visit to her bungalow. Then later we visited her in the care home where she has been for a while. She was very sleepy so we didn’t stay long.

On our way home we picked up the ingredients for our evening meal. By this time the sun had come out and I had just enough time for a local walk before ‘fine dining’ on the patio.

I was volunteering at Attingham Park, no chance of walking whilst scanning in visitors to the park. Later we visited family, so only a short walk today.

But beauty can be found on the doorstep.

Not many miles today but whilst we were out and about we had lunch in Ironbridge.

I ordered a croissant with scrambled egg and smoked salmon. When it arrived it turned out to be a mini meal.

Over the past two days I have been busy with my walk leader volunteering role at Attingham Park.

On the first day, along with other volunteers and the manager of the walk program, we recce’d a new walking route that focuses on the river. Then in the afternoon it was my usual Tuesday afternoon shift greeting and scanning visitors cards as they arrived at Attingham Park.

On the second day I was one of the walk leaders on a social walk through the deer park. It was a lovely walk and we were privileged to see the deer in two different places along our walk.

I didn’t have the opportunity to take photos so I share some photos taken when I was walking these paths last year.

The day started with a late breakfast in the Café where we had lunch in the day before. Mr C had left his cap behind!

After breakfast we briefly visited Shrewsbury before heading off in the direction of Church Stretton. As we travelled we decided to visit Stokesay Castle and by the time we arrived the grey sky had turned to brilliant sunshine.

I started the day breakfasting with friends in my local Weatherspoon’s, a perfect start to the day.

After breakfast we did our weekly food shop and upon returning home I found a squishy envelope had been delivered. I opened it to find the Mega Miles T Shirt.

This was perfect timing for my planned photo shoot showing me with a local landmark in the background. A mini challenge within the walking challenge was to take a Selfie with a local landmark for others to guess where the landmark is. This photo is taken in the grounds of another local monument.
