Two Long Walks Ahead This Morning.
It's Monday morning and after a nice weekend including a visit from friends yesterday, which was a great way to spend a few hours, I'm off to take the car to the garage for repairs. The great thing about it is that the garage is in the next village so after dropping it off I get a long walk back home and again the same long walk to go fetch it later. I think this calls for my camera in case I see anything interesting in the back lanes, I would have been nice if the promised sunshine had been here but I guess I should be happy it's not raining.
The kiln is on ready for Yvonne to start work and I hope I'll be back at my torch in a hour unless I get lost in the fens or distracted, thank god I'm feeling more like the old Rob, a few weeks back there would have been no way I could have walked a few miles, it just shows how much my health as improved, touch wood it carries on that way.
I'm looking forward to the walk for many reasons, yes it's great exercise but also so much is going on this time of year in nature, it seems like every tree is coming into leaf and blossom is everywhere you look, both fruit trees and shrub look superb in there spring jewellery, pinks of every shade line our village lanes and wild hedgerows are in full glory telling of the wonderful summer fruits they are willing to hand us in the coming months.
The river that runs through our village has banks alive with interest, late carpets of daffodils still dance in the winds of the fens while reeds grow inches every day bringing cover for water birds, it's amazing how quick things change, just like our lives, some changes people notice and some are never seen unless those looking take the time and care to find them.
Ok I better get off, I'll update you on how the walks went this evening, I'm sure there will be something that catches my eye and you know me, I will just have to share it with you.
