The bridge at the end of the journey

My physio was pleased today and encouraged me to go on walks. She reassured me that if I was a bit stiff or sore and it calmed down quickly, I was doing no harm. She talked about when I can re-start my work in the gym and said I could go back to swimming (as long as it's a full flight of steps and I'm careful how I get into the pool.)

To celebrate, I went to explore a little path that leads away from Christian Fields on the Lichfield northern ring road. I walked for half an hour until I arrived in the village of Elmhurst, to find this marvellous little bridge in the first garden on the right.

I turned round to look at the path I'd followed and saw this:
