Ooooh it was right nice out first thing. I was awake at 4:30 having gone to bed really early last night so I lay there for a bit contemplating my navel. Anyway, up I got, shoved some coffee down and off I went. It was beautiful, lots of little birds flitting about, some early dog walkers, and a man I see quite regularly now, coming the other way. There were lots of pheasants out and about strutting their stuff, rabbits πŸ‡ bouncing along, and a field full of cows just chilling as the day came into itself. The photo of the carved man is pretty much how I looked and felt as I started out. It’s at the entrance to a Cub Scout camp. I chuckled one time as I walked past a group of young lads being taught how to orienteer I think. You could see them all thinking but why? My phone tells me everything I need to know including where I am 🀣. I’m sure the instructor had his hands full that day.

Ah well, off to see the hygienist in a bit. Have a smashing day all! 😊😊😊

Lovely to get out so early Frenc. Yes, I can imagine those cubs reactions...the idea of not using their phones must be totally alien.

Thank you 😊. Yes, I don’t think they understood the point of map reading! All the best.

Nice one Frenc πŸ‘My two boys were in scouts πŸ˜‚

There was lots of activities they scratched heads about 🀣

But I have a real fond memory of my eldest leading a complicated march sequence πŸ€—

Not that it's had any influence on life since, (well unless he takes up running)

And can help with my coordination 🀣

I always love your pics 🌹

I'm off to visit family tomorrow.. looking forward to running my home town route πŸ˜…

Ah thank you! You must have been very proud of the march sequence 😊. That’ll be nice to go and see your family, and run somewhere different and so familiar at the same time. Enjoy 😊.
