An extended cool down walk…

Monday 13th January…

Even at my snail’s pace…when I’m running, I’m focused on my running.

So when I had a short run planned along the canal, I took the opportunity to run the short distance out, and then to walk back…with the time to have a good look around.

There had been a beautiful sunrise to start my day, and it wasn’t too cold. So on my walk back I saw several ducks, and a pair of goosanders. I was also extremely pleased to see a flash of orange and blue…yes, a kingfisher! Now you may not believe it, but the small orangey blob in the middle of the centre picture is that kingfisher!

All in all, a very satisfying walk!

I’m so lucky in the morning! Don’t get epic sunsets though…I have a mountain in the way! 😂

I’m sure you have plenty of lovely places near you…you just have to find them!

I live on a housing estate…my Lockdown exercise photos weren’t quite so pretty 😉

Walking is amazing isn't it? I've walked more than run lately and seen so much more, beautiful photos too 😁

Even if it’s a tried and tested route, there’s always something new to see!

Got here late! All calm before the storm! How windy is it where you are?

Calmed down now, though still windy. How about you?

All calm this morning, but we were worried yesterday about this one tree, which is leaning a bit and is against a boundary wall that now has a crack in it. We might have to chop it down. 😟
