Sunny Monday





















Weekend working does have it's perks I suppose. Today it meant a day with eldest who does not have college on Mondays.
We did a walk through woodland and up a hill. My favourite sort. The air was cold and we strode out through the shady parts. I love the views towards Old John's tower and the colours of the landscape in Bradgate park.  There's a lot to love about this open space. So much history and natural beauty.
We walked further than I had planned, it was so pleasant and tempted us onward.
I feel very luck to have a 16 year old who really seems to enjoy walking.
After 6 miles we were both hungry and hurried home for some warm food. November you are wonderful when the sun shines.

  7. Definitely wonderful when the sun shines! Although the grey days can be lovely too, when the fire of autumn trees is glowing beneath the clouds.

    Beautiful post. :)

  8. What a lovely walk. Bradgate Park reminds me a lot of our local deer park which is similarly ancient. You have reminded me that we should pop up there for a wander soon. So nice that your son likes to walk with you. I hope mine will be the same when the time comes. CJ xx

  10. So beautiful and such a treat to share with you while drinking my morning cuppa. It's great that your son enjoys walking too as he will no doubt have a love of the outdoors throughout his life, just like his mum.
