My morning coffee stop with a view!

Beautiful sunny morning and everything still smells so fresh after the recent rain. The clouds are fairly high today and it is 20C just now. Good for my walk.
Really pleased with myself today! I timed my walk from where I parked the car in the usual place in the side road behind the hotel. It took me just over 20mins to do 2,200 steps. I can’t tell you how good that felt! Some days it feels hard going, but I make sure I rest later.
The golf course was looking pristine and emerald green as I walked up the tree lined drive.
It is really a private road which includes the hotel and golf course, but if you continue the other way you pass by some very lovely detached houses on either side, each in their own grounds, to the other end.
When I can actually do this walk once again all the way from home, I’ll try and surreptitiously take a few photos.
Over the years it has been a regular walk for me and indeed both of us.
I’m currently waiting for Stephen who has got the bus home from the dentist and is going to walk from its last stop fairly near here, to come and meet me. Before we walk back to the car.
Then it’s lunchtime and a very full on afternoon with the two younger grandchildren!
Measuring the sunflowers with string and sticking the strings on an interior door will happen, (so they can compare their heights again next time they are here in two weeks).
Making rhubarb muffins, possibly, and Triple dominoes. Sometimes they arrive with their own agenda and we join in! Last time our 9 year old grandson said “We are going to do some drawing granny. I will choose the subject and we both draw it.”
I wasn’t very good with different types of swords, but he was impressed with my trees when it was my choice!
His sister (6) was baking with grandad at the time. She loves that.
Then it’s time to finish most of the packing.
We go to Winchester tomorrow for 4 nights, and will be visiting friends and Stephen’s old work colleague, when he was with Portsmouth City Council. (His first job straight from University).
It felt like the ends of the earth then moving there from Rossendale in Lancashire!
Stephen has now arrived so we will soon begin our return walk.
