Walk with me

Want to see some beautiful sights?
Come and walk with me.
On Sunday afternoon, CBC went out for a cycle (an epic fast cycle so not one I could tag along with) and so I also wanted to get out and get some exercise (especially as it is the last day of the holiday) and not be aimlessly at home.
All my walks so far have taken a left out of the end of my road so this time I decided to go right and walk towards a nearish village we had cycled through (the place of the Asparagus) if it was possible or at least head in that direction and see where I got.
I turned off the main road and ended up walking along the lane when I came quite quickly to some OSR fields.  I'd never had these in walking distance of where I live before so it was rather exciting.  I only met one pair of dog walkers along the stretch.

When I reached the end of the road, a footpath turned the right angle along the field so I decided to follow that rather than continue towards the village. 

The yellow blooms spread across the horizon and I was completely alone.

I looked to the right and saw a meadow which was teaming with daisies.

Some beautiful Bluebells were flanking the border and it was a delight to see.

The odd Fava bean plant was dotted along the path. I find these really attractive!

A final glance at the OSR before I advanced into some green fields with woodland flanking them. At the end, I had to turn into the woods and found myself on the playing fields behind the community centre on the main road.

I wasn't sure where to go next so I walked through these towards the main road. I saw these daisies winking at me at the entrance.

There was some great artwork on the back of the community centre. The reason for the Vikings is that nearby is supposedly the scene of a battle between Ethelred and some of the other ancient kings and Vikings.

I continued onto the main road and then turned right along the lane towards St Andrew's Church.

I thought these were Red Campion flowers but now I'm not sure.

These were growing along the fences leading to the church.

And there the church was, looking beautiful and peaceful.

Turn to the right and see the view down the valley towards the river.

The blossom looked like tresses of pure white here.

And up close, some beautiful Cherry blossom.

Notice the clock?

A welcoming sign from the church.

I like the idea of a grave for those who have no official resting place. Notice the shard of light.

I continued through the graveyard, tutting as I could hear the voices of youths and a loud blaring mobile phone hidden in the bushes. I am quite sure they aren't related.

The footpath continued down the hill and then I had no choice but to join the main road back towards town.

As I walked along homewards, I saw someone had done some lovely rainbow chalking.

The walk was probably around 5 miles in total, not huge but certainly wonderful to explore some more routes around my home town and region.

I hope you enjoyed it.
