Another perfect day for sitting having a beer and generally doing nothing – so we met up with David and Valerie and went for a mega-walk.
And when I say mega, I use the term in a relative way – it was mega for me!!!
We started by walking down across the meadow, passed The Vines and into Wicksteed Park, carefully avoiding any temptation offered by the ice-cream van and the tea shop on-site! As expected, the place was packed, although most people were there for Wicksteed’s attractions rather a purposeful walk.
Probably the strangest site (apart for the abundance of un-ironed flesh on display) was a new piece of ‘art’ being installed – I’m sure it wasn’t there last time we were here.
Curious Art at Wicksteed
After walking our normal circuit in the park, we exited towards the newly tarmacked Powell Lane past the Post Office and then along the side of the Church and onto more meadow. There was even a cricket match going on – how very English! (well, actually, there wasn’t an actual game going on, just a load of people in cricket whites sitting around, so I think we missed it, or it was ‘half-time’!)
With the hardest part over, and with basecamp not far away, we quickened our pace (a bit), and we were soon home.
Phew! That was tiring, but we felt smug, so that’s OK then!!!
Next stop, the beer fridge for me!!!!!
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
