I'm so fortunate to live in the countryside

8 Replies

Had another lovely walk today albeit not a fast walk as I went for a walk with my hubby today although we did have a fairly good pace.

We walked around the coast near to where we live and stopped and had our packed lunch at one of the beaches and I enjoyed a lovely cup of coffee as a treat.

It's been a beautiful day again today and was hot in some places but lovely where there was a breeze. We walked 18,477 steps today, just over 8 1/2 miles.

The photo is from a house which overlooks the sea and is about 10 to 15 minutes from where we live.

Enjoy the rest of this beautiful weather and long may it continue. :)

Hey this looks so tranquil Alicia and you do indeed live in a spectacularly beautiful part of the world and that's a beautiful sea view and brings back memories for me.

You did very well walking that far in the heat I bet the sea breeze was nice, so good for you and your coffee was a well deserved treat.

I hope that you enjoy the BH weekend it's started very misty here which's very attractive. Jerry 😊

Hi Jerry

Thank you and yes I wouldn't leave where I live now, I want to move house and was thinking of another area but I can't even contemplate leaving the countryside now. I want to find another property where I live in the South Hams, which is just outside of Plymouth but in the country.

I've been on a very short walk today, only just over 8000 steps so it's a bike ride this afternoon. We went to a place called Lydford Gorge which is on Dartmoor in Devon.

Here's to this afternoon's bike ride.

Hi Alicia I lived in the South Has but further over so Holne bridge was nearer to us. It's staggeringly beautiful Dartmoor so enjoy your bike ride. 🚴‍♀️ 😀 🚴‍♂️

What a coincidence you lived quite close then to where I am.

I had a good bike ride thanks, it's a new bike so I'll 've glad when I've got used to the saddle 😂

What a fabulous view. I’m glad you’ve enjoyed your walks this weekend. I have to say I’ve not ventured far as it’s so hot.

You’re lucky to live in such a beautiful area. Enjoy the rest of the weekend 🌞
