A hot and sunny Easter weekend. With mini eggs and lots of reading. And a Tuesday Zoom to join in a Happy Birthday singalong.
But felt listless and a little low.
Planes are still flying
But in the field across the road, no sign of the sheep that have been our neighbours since January.
Tuesday morning’s walk featured blue skies and spring in full bloom, with …

Route: Kerrys Gate – Riverdale – Abbey Dore – Dore Abbey – Ewyas Harold Common – Cwm Road – Abbey Dore – Thistly Field.

Ah well. Time for a walk. Let’s see if that lifts my mood.
Yes. That’s a bit better.
