A Short Walk

 
Earlier this week, (Tuesday),
I took the camera for a short walk.
 
 
Well the sun was shining,
so it seemed a good idea.

 
 If it hadn't been so cold,
it could almost have been spring.
 

 
 A nuthatch was hopping amongst the branches,
making a devil of a loud noise.
Who knew they were so noisy?
 
 
 There was an intermittent breeze.
 
 
It won't be long before we see leaves in bud.
That will be quite a transformation.

 
So that was my short walk.
It's proving to be a regular one.
A walk along the road,
to the river,
and over the bridge.
It's nice to continue the walk down to the river
and alongside it in either direction.
But with all the rain of late,
it is just so muddy underfoot,
requiring me to don borrowed willies,
several sizes too big.
So, I'll reserve that for another time,
or perhaps when it has dried underfoot.
That won't be for a while I expect,
it rained very heavy yesterday.
Though you wouldn't think it
looking at these blue skies from the day before,
would you?

A Walk Along the Wall



 
This morning started off sunny.
So we went for a walk.
By the time we got to the start of our walk it had clouded over.
Our walk was to be along part of
We started at Banks
and parked near a Roman turret.
The path followed the edge of fields
before diverting through a wood.
 
 

 
To get out of the wood
we went through a kissing gate,

 
and into the sunshine.

 
From then on
it was lovely and sunny,
and quite warm.

 
The sun cast distinct shadows.

 
At last we could see our destination ahead.
It lies on the wall
and is on the site of a Roman fort.

 
 

 
 

 
There were a few other people visiting the site which was sadly closed.
So no tea and cake at the café then.
At this time of year it's only open at weekends.

 
Then we set off on our return walk.
Along
the long
road.

 
With lovely views.
 

 
At the end of which,
after a short car journey,
we found a tearoom.

 
But that's a visit for another day.
