Tuesday 18th October
With Marta. 6.25 miles in brilliant and warm sunshine, under a cloudless sky.
We set off along Grange Road to Weekley hall Wood, then along the footpath in the wood.
There were a few walkers, joggers, cyclists. Felled tree trunks are stacked along both sides of the path - for quite a distance.
We carried on to Glendon Farm, and the Fox and Peony, where we stopped for coffee and tea cakes, sitting outside in the warm sun.
The return trip was a slightly different route, with a detour along a smaller path, in search of magical fungi. We asked a young woman with a toddler if she had seen any fly agaric - she was Lithuanian , and said that in her country people use them as a hair conditioner! However we didn’t find anything as spectacular.
We spotted a red admiral, and a brimstone butterfly, enjoying the warmth.
