At the edge of the village. (Walking the circuit)
On Saturday afternoon. My friend and I did not walk across the field today, but instead we decided to follow the circuit, around the village itself.
Starting at the car park, where there are large recycle bins, we had some recycling to put in the bins, plastics, papers and glass jars. So first we disposed of 2 bags.
The Circuit- First Field with footpath.
We set off along the foot path at the side of the field for 20 mins.
Through the exit, we walked on along the main road, this is the road leading away from village centre, and we have to walk for 15 minutes as far as the cemetery.
Rested here for 5 minutes on the bench at the cemetery. Where we sat down to eat our sandwiches, we fed the little birds on the crusts, and the left over crumbs. The little birds were becoming quite tame with us, venturing closer and closer!
Sitting in the cemetery.
We drank a fruit drink before starting off again. Occasionally in here, we have spotted some muntjac deer and rabbits in the cemetery at dusk!
However I wouldn't like being in here at night all alone!
Following the footpath, out through the cemetery and crossed the main road.
We entered the park and walked the perimeter for 1 lap around the whole park. This takes about 10 mins. We then sat on the bench in this area in the shade.
After a brief rest, there was then steep hill to climb!
The hill climbs steeply upwards, here we can feel our leg muscles working hard, as we climb steadily up the little hill, on through the footpath and so by- passing the housing estate, so another 10 mins. Crossed over the outer village road near the post office.
A Green Space with 10 young Fruit Trees and bench.
Now we find ourselves in front of the large Co-op store. Luckily there is the Green Space nearby with bench, hedges and a few trees. Rested a while there to catch our breath and have another drink,( all this walking was thirsty work! ). This is now on the edge of the village, with only a few houses at the far end, then a field leading to the next village.
Finally we are heading back towards the village through quiet side roads passing by the theatre undergoing repairs at the moment. Passed by the Churches.
We crossed over the main road of Church street and turned into the little lane we call Tree lane. This beautiful lane, which is on the other side of park, is lined with lime trees.
The scent is quite wonderful when It hits you, especially on a warm day like today, it was quite intoxicating!
It is always so peaceful in this lane we always like to sit and spend some time here, hardly any passers by, no traffic, just the grassy banks, quiet gardens, tall trees and that amazing perfume!
The park lies at the far end of the lane.
Our house is only 5 minutes away, down a short cut from here, so we sat and watched the sun a while, as it began setting.
Sitting beneath the fragrant Lime Trees in Tree lane.
These beautiful Lime tree with yellow flowers smell divine!
