Walking routes

Walking in the countryside is just so important for us at the moment.

Local places are just far too busy, too many people, and if they are a bit quieter (weekdays, and it’s a relative thing) we are constantly having to be alert and step off footpaths as people come the other way.

Much better to travel a little distance (but not far) and at the right time. There are still people around, but fewer, and there is more space so it feels more comfortable.

So much of everywhere looks like this at present, the trees thinning as the leaves fall and lie in sheets on the ground. It feels good, even on a largely grey day like today.

Extra - I liked these tattered leaves against a white sky.
