Quiet reflection

Colin and I went for the permissible daily exercise today, trying out the new-ish circular Nether Aden riverside walk on the outskirts of the village. It's a great addition to a suite of local walks funded by the EU. Today it was incredibly quiet and peaceful and so obvious that spring if not here is just round the corner. The fresh air and calm did us the world of good mentally, but I'm not so sure about the physical benefits as my joints are protesting at 14000 steps!
