Daily Walk

Today we decided to vary our walk. Normally it's out of our road, through the park around the estate and back home. This is because the pavements are wide and you can easily pass others without invading their space. However, we needed to clear the heads and wanted different scenery, so we took a chance for a walk along the shoreline and around the castle.








We started off with a walk down the aptly named Castle Street but branched off through a little lane which follows the shoreline. On the way, stopping to admire a lovely little daisy.


There's a lot of industry down the one side of the estuary but it's quite interesting and the views are quite good. Shame the tide wasn't fully in but it didn't matter too much.







It's quite a long walk, or rather stroll, a few miles and fortunately we didn't meet too many people coming the other way. Lots of passing places though so no problems. Wasn't long before the castle came into view and obviuosly we had to stop for the obligatory photos. Must have hundreds by now but never tire of taking them.

Still it was a pleasant day and although it wasn't that warm, neither was it cold. Once past the castle the track gets quite narrow but everyone we met along the way was quite happy to wait for us, or we waited for them. Lots of dogs and little children but everyone doing thier very best to conform to social distancing.

 Finally, it was right down to the waters edge past a field of crows and on our way home. A lovely afternoon stroll of about 3 or 4 miles. Just what we needed
