Railway walk - north then east.

 Wednesday 30th April 2025

A fine morning and washing on the picturesque line.


Brief walk along the railway track, to the right from the house road. A bout 1 mile.



Quite a few butterflies on the dandelions in the sheltered hollow - three or four peacocks, looking slightly paler than the ones at home, and orange tips and whites. Another orangey patterned flutter further along. Cuckoos were calling again. 

Then back for coffee and a bit of a laze. 


After a late lunch, at 2.45 I went out for another walk along the old railway track.



Very warm today, and not a lot of shade.


Walked just over 3 miles, with two stops for water.




One of the places I sought shade for a swig of water..



Back as the church clock was striking 4.




Met several cars on one stretch of road near the last lough(an), plus one woman walking and one man cycling along the track. A few butterflies, though it was hot.

A lovely sunset - reminded me of La Serena - wide horizon, the red ball of the sun slowly sinking.



  And now a beautiful crescent moon.

Yesterday’s crossword by Philistine was fairly straightforward, with some clever clues.

And that’s pretty well a wrap for April!
