A couple of weekends ago, I woke to a beautiful sunny day and the choice was a long early morning walk or try and paint the shed…šš….well needless to say, the walk won….It was somewhere I hadnāt walked for years but I thought Iād push myself since it was such a lovely day…..it was going fine until I reached my destination, Folly Lake, just on the outskirts of the village….but then couldnāt remember where to find the public footpath Iād just walked along from the village š³š…..
My intention was to walk in a square back to the main road and then the village as I knew the car way back, but for some reason was tempted by the first public footpath I saw….thatās when it started to go wrong….š…turned out ok in the end and took me through the middle of the Risby estate (so the sign said š) through beautiful countryside and back to the village…….
Just had the most amazing trundle
Much longer than I thoughtā¦
Walked to Folly Lake for a change
Much further than I oughtā¦ā¦
But oh, it was so lovely
Not walked there for years
But then my trundle went array
Couldnāt remember the way back..in reverse..!
Took another public footpath
In the hope of a smiley face
To tell me where I was heading
Was I anywhere near my base?
A couple were ahead,
but I couldnāt catch them up
But then I spied a smiley couple
Coming towards me, then close upā¦.
They pointed this way and that
With their lovely smiley faces
Thenā¦Through beautifully ploughed fields
With bird song as my company
I found my way back home againā¦ā¦
Took me a lot longer than it should have done, but that was mainly due to getting lost šI arrived home exhausted but having had a totally lovely trundle ā¦ā¦.met some lovely people out doing the same, obviously all keeping to the rules. I never worry about getting lost near the village as thereās always smiley people to ask…..
Also saw this cute dog in the middle of the biggest playground ever, his owner, the farmers field……just so happy bouncing up and down through the field….ā¤ļø
A memorable trundle, Wendy. Once again, kind people on hand to help š
