One Sunny Day

Hello Lovelies,

How are you? Thank you for your comments on my latest posts. Today I bring you some sunshine :0)

April may have seemed unremittingly wet at times, but there have been a couple of bright days. These photos were from one such day. A really lovely walk around the Charnwood Forest. I love this area of Leicestershire so much. It's a totally different landscape to most of the East Midlands. It has proper hills and stone walls. 

This walk started with paths I hadn't walked before, around Broombriggs Farm.

We walked and quietly enjoyed the beauty and the fine views...as instructed. I hope you enjoy them too :0)

Ooooh a windmill.

Sadly it's very much shortened these days.

If I take a picture like this you could think it's still lovely and tall. Oh, I've just googled it and if you scroll down HERE you can see that it had a wooden top. That explains why only this bit is left standing.

The next part of our walk was through lovely sunlit woodland.

past grazing cattle

loved this one's wonky horns

To a blue sky view.

and a tasty snack

This is my kind of Coffee stop

This view is familiar but it still makes me smile

then it was back through woodland to the car

On the way back we decided to stop at a heritage railway station we have passed many times. I was thrilled to discover it's free to explore and it looked simply gorgeous on this beautiful day.

 I loved all the period details. So much work has gone into this and it's heartening to see how well supported this must be.

I took quiet a lot of pictures :0)

I do hope you enjoyed them.
