A work day today so little opportunity to get out for a walk
but downed tools and managed to get out at the end of the working day. A bit
too windy for me, I prefer a gentle summer breeze, but at least the rain had
stopped.
To walk from my home I can either turn right and go across
fields or go up the drive and I mean up! Our drive was an old farm track and is
very steep at the top. The photo shows
what faces me, easy for some but not for me. It is much more fun to walk with
someone but, as I struggle to speak when I reach the top, perhaps it's just as
well I am usually alone. My legs were protesting a little and I really hope
this will improve over the next month.
I got into a good rhythm when walking along the road. As it was home time for workers, I did have
to hop on and off the verge a few times as cars passed me. In places with no
verge I found myself speared on pieces of holly as I pressed back into the
hedge. It's not only town walking that involves potential hazards.
Tractors were turning the earth in one field so I had the
lovely scent of the rich Herefordshire loam, the bleat of the lambs and a few
busy birds in the trees. It was a very good way of unwinding after a day's concentration
in front of the computer.
