Of course, they all heard that I was coming, and packed their luggage and headed off for anywhere that I wasn't.
But walking in the countryside is never wasted time; I coast along, listening to the radio and taking in the sights. There wasn't a lot of nature, but there were a lot of cyclists; full club chain gangs swishing past at speed, couples in black pootling along on his and hers Treks, folk on mountain bikes, a guy struggling up Beacon Hill at barely walking pace against the steep slope.
I was glad not to be riding myself because of the cold, but it was great to see all the cyclists out. Balls to all those who moan about them - all these bikes were sporting blinking lights as recommended these days.

Nice place to live in Si.
ReplyDeleteYes always good to be at one with nature Simon.
ReplyDeleteI pass many cyclists on my walk with Nella. Have always found them to be polite and it is rare not to get a friendly 'Good Morning'
Nice images, show us the landscaping and architecture in another park of UK
It looks a very lovely walk with lots of interest to see even if there were no Fieldfares.
ReplyDeleteI usually love to walk in the morning. I feel fresh and relaxed by inhaling the fresh air and seeing many beautiful scenery. Lovely pics:)
ReplyDeleteLooks a good walk. I agree with you - great to see so many cyclists out these days!
