Another beautiful cold, bright morning .
Harry decided to walk with us. We went over to Maureen’s for 930, then drove out to Geddington, and did the walk to the Fox and Peony, through Weekley Hall Wood.
Talked them into letting us use crockery outside, but they still provided us with boxes for teacakes and scones! So half a victory.
Around 7 miles.
Sunday 5th November
In the afternoon we went to Burghley Park, and walked into Stamford. The wind had dropped completely, and the walk was pleasant. We had coffee at Café Black, sitting outside, next to a dog called ¨Harry Potter¨ apparently. Does he sleep in a cupboard under the stairs
Three and a half miles - ish.
Tuesday 31st October
Met Marta at ECP, where we did a short wander of about one and a half miles before going for a coffee and long chat, re politics and Halloween. We sat outside, but Marta got a bit cold. I think I was as ever too well wrapped up!
Walked in wellies today.
Monday 30th October. with Harry and Maureen. Just over 7 miles.
Round to Maureen’s, then walked 3 mile route to Boating Lake cafe, where we had coffee. We scoffed Maureen’s scones, then walked another 4.5 miles on a circuitous route back mainly through woods - which were looking good today.
Lunch back at home.
After lunch we walked over to Kirby Hall and lane. Footpath closed possibly until 2028! How ridiculous is that?
Lovely sunshine and quite warm this afternoon. Lots of children seeking conkers, probably in vain according to one of the volunteer helpers
Wednesday 25th Oct
Coffee at the car.
1. Monday 23rd Oct. Walk around Hambleton peninsulawith harry, Kate and Maureen. Road closures and floods ensured a rather roundabout route! Kate picked us up - it took almost 45 mins to get out there, so we set off at 10.04. The lake was very misty at the start of the walk.
We walked anti-clockwise to get the hilly part over and done with.
We had a break on the southern side, which was sheltered and even slightly sunny. More people walking round by now . I had forgotten to put coffee powder in, so a drink of hot water had to do, along with Maureen’s scone.
We saw. a bird which was either a very pale heron or possibly an egret, along with lots of swans and a few geese.
