Wednesdays walk

Bright sunshine greeted us as we headed out for our walk. We decided to do the walk around Scole and Upper Billingford again, because we wanted to show Val how lovely this walk is. Unfortunately Val was unable to join us, but the walk was still as lovely.

We noticed that the snowdrops have now been replaced by daffodils and that the birds are singing a much happier tune now that spring is here. Ducks were pairing off finding almost any drop of water they can, even puddles became ponds for them.

We found a grassy spot between Billingford and Upper Billingford for lunch and enjoyed the peace and almost quiet, with the A143 humming in the background.

A cat was sunning itself alongside the path and got up to greet us and enjoyed the fuss we gave it.

Walking through a field at Thelveton we came across an old tree, that looked as if it had been there for years, with no new branches or buds forming one can only assume that it is now disused!!

Crossing back over the A140 we commented on how busy it was this time. There were two men surveying part of the verge and we decided to get a photograph from the bridge above them.

Back home again to a large bowl of homemade cauliflower soup and plans for futher walks. Although we both have other commitments for a couple of weeks. Looking at our diaries we realise that we will only have time for about two more walks together before the start of Hadrian's Wall.
