Made for walking

Treated myself to a little toddle down the footpath this morning while my lunch was being cooked(!)  It's very gentle exercise and I normally expect to have the place to myself, giving a chance to see heron, egrets, robin, wren, etc. and if I'm lucky even a woodpecker (today I just heard it).  In fact I can get quite nasty under my breath if someone comes along to disturb me/them. 

However, today I was pressed against the fence like a swatted fly while literally billlions of - or at least 25 - ramblers tramped by with their waterproof gear, alpenstocks and good humour.  You had to love them, the sky was blackening nicely but they all chirruped, 'Lovely day, isn't it?' and I felt inclined to agree.

I hope your Easter's being lovely too.  I think the rest of my day will be spent digesting roast chicken, coffee-laced chocolate, and watching the final episode of The Night Manager, which suits me perfectly.  Perhaps, though, you're doing something slightly more exciting?

Catch ya later  xx
