You know those dreams where you are walking towards something in the distance but no matter how long you go on walking it never gets any closer? For a long while this morning, the spire of St Mary's church felt a lot like that.
I was in two minds about going out the moment I stepped outside the door. It was colder and mistier than I expected and I almost retreated back inside for a coffee. But I'm glad I didn't. It turned into a nice walk, though the camera had some problems finding a focus point in some misty distance shots. I even found a new footpath route, although I think it was one I might have explored before except only from the other direction. Although it wasn't filled with horses back then.
And the coffee was just as welcome when I finally got back.
I also twigged the reason why people are advised not put their new food waste bins out for collection the night before, as I carefully negotiated the contents of one overturned bin scattered across the pavement and into the road. Apparently foxes have learned to unlock them already. Which is more than we have.
I have now encountered the same delivery lady three mornings in a row on three different streets to the point where we now wave and exchange greetings. I've no idea what she's delivering to various houses, except the house selection seems quite specific. Perhaps I should ask if we cross paths again another morning. It might be Avon products. That might be interesting.
Beautiful weather for walking! I hope you enjoyed your walk out and about. That's a lovely photo of you. Good to get home and warm up with a coffee.
ReplyDeleteMind you, stopping half way around for a coffee and a bite to eat is very nice too.
It was nice. Today looks even nicer, though L returns today and Susie must be washed and packed away before then.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame there isn't a coffee place anywhere on that route. That would make it pretty near perfect.
Ooh, Blogger's allowing me to comment for once! It's a stubborn system that often just blocks. Just to say that your pictures are very pretty and you look really lovely, and feminine. Let's hope warmer days will be arriving soon. Sue x
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favourite places on the outskirts of a village that seems otherwise determined to pave over every front lawn and turn little bungalows into 3 storey blocks of one bedroom flats. (I wish now I'd taken a photo of the bloke sitting in a digger on top a pile of rubble under a sign saying 'Total Building Solutions'.) It's a nature reserve though as usual I saw more wildlife (mostly squirrels) on the way there and back.
The next day (Friday) was indeed warmer as was yesterday, but by then L had returned home and Susie had to go back in her box. Still it was lovely while it lasted.
