Early morning walk - NOT amateur radio

 

As today is again expected to be hot, we went for a walk before breakfast as it was still cool. In all, we walked about 4km.

Spring - NOT amateur radio

This morning we went for a nice walk around the village. I was expecting this morning to be bright but chilly so I put a warm coat on. 

It was actually quite mild and no coat was needed. Today really felt like spring, after what has seemed a long, wet, dark winter

January walk - NOT amateur radio

This afternoon, we went for a walk around the village.

There are signs of better weather ahead with snowdrops snd hellebores out. 

At the moment it feels very "January" i.e. dull, cold and dreary!

Winter walk - NOT amateur radio (Tuesday)

On Christmas Day the weather was dull, but Boxing Day (the day after Christmas) was cold and sunny, so we went for a walk to burn off a few of the Christmas excesses. We walked around the village of Lode, near Cambridge.

Yesterday's walk - NOT amateur radio

Yesterday, we did a lovely walk around our village. We call this route our "Muntjac walk" as we often see some of these deer on part of the walk. Incidentally, one just walked past the kitchen window a few days ago! 

See Muntjac.

Local walks - NOT amateur radio

If the weather is good, we enjoy a local walk. All were taken within a few miles of home.

This collage shows some of the places seen in the last week.

My wife made a collage of our walk at Quy near Cambridge yesterday. It was a pleasant walk down to the river and lake.

It is here for the record.

Getting maudlin - NOT amateur radio

This must come with old age. 

As we get older, we know our time is limited. Certainly it is highly likely that our health will fail. So, every chance to do a walk is a gift to be enjoyed. 

Today we saw, a green woodpecker, blackberries, Ely cathedral and lots more.

For once, the sun was shining. We did a lovely walk with one of our sons and our grandson.  My wife loves her photos!

Walk with grandchildren - NOT amateur radio

This was last weekend on a walk with 2 of our grandchildren. We were playing a game of "Pooh Sticks" when a stick is dropped on one side of the bridge and one waits on the other side of bridge for it to emerge.

Village walk - NOT amateur radio

We had a nice walk around the village earlier. We can tell we are heavy as the walk tired us! We are both on diets.  

We call this our "Muntjac Walk" as we often see these deer on our way.

This morning's walk - NOT amateur radio

This morning we went for a walk early. It was just under 3 miles. We call it the "Muntjac Walk" as we often see these on this walk. 

We needn't go far as one has already decided some of our garden flowers make a good snack! I have no idea how they get in.

The flowers in the photo were seen on the walk. By the way it is now raining, so we chose the best time.

Walk - NOT amateur radio

Before lunch we did a walk around the village with our elder grandson as shown in the photo. 

Village walk - NOT amateur radio

We have just returned after a village walk. The BBC weather app said 1% chance of rain, so of course it rained! 

The photo shows our churchyard coming to life with daffodils and birds busy. Spring has sprung.

More on the walk yesterday - NOT amateur radio

On our walk yesterday we saw lots of snowdrops and aconites.
