A tiring walk

Spring really does seem to be on its way now, although we are still having some chilly nights and I expect more stormy weather will be on the way as well. But on the nice days it’s lovely to be able to get out a bit more and make the most of them! The other day we met up with some friends to go for a walk. It wasn’t an overly strenuous walk, mainly just over fields and down lanes, no big hills or anything like that to deal with. But when we were just over half way, Little One said her legs were tired and she needed to stop for a rest. So we stopped at the edge of a field and found a nice patch of grass, and then we lay on it and just enjoyed looking at the fluffy clouds, and the blue sky through the branches of the trees. Being in the company of children gives you licence to do things you would feel stupid/embarrassed to be doing otherwise, which is a shame because we should really do them more often. When was the last time you just lay in a field and enjoyed looking at the sky? All rights reserved. © Text and image copyright Fleur 2023.

I do not lay in a field, but last Saturday I sat on the bench outside our home as soon as we where back from our nice hiking on the upper village. We climbed up from the lake level and back and the day was beautiful.

@Fleura It is a wonderful old medieval village. The oldest restaurant was built in the year 1383, refurbished in 1963. There is a wooden plate to remember the historic place.

Not for years... I try to stay out of the sun. Before the pandemic, Pretty and I spent a lot of time at the lake, floating around on inflatable toys looking at the stars.

@Fleura It really was nice. We went floating several times a week.

That would have been fun. It seems when I sit or lie on the ground, the word goes out and all the ants start arriving!

In reality there are just ants everywhere, only you don't notice them so much until you sit on them.

@Fleura I'll have you know I take very great care not to sit on any ants!! But they still seek me out.

Down here in the south east it was windy and very grey. I couldn't work up the energy to go for a walk, but it is nice today, so off I go

It’s been a long time. I used to lay on the grass with the kids when they were youngsters. I don’t have grass to lay on now even if I wanted to. Well, I could go to the picnic area and lay on the grass. I might just do that.

You have to be careful in a public place as an adult, someone might think you have collapsed and call an ambulance

@Fleura That’s probably what would happen.

No fields to lay in now, When I lived in Latvia I would put down a blanket in my garden and watch clouds go by.

That photo made me laugh out loud. I feel like that on many days. I have done that in the past year. A farm nearby has cows you can visit and I enjoy being around the animals. They have so much to give unconditional.
