Nice pics pleb, good to see you are getting out.
No 4 is green alkanet.
I wondered what that was, I see quite a lot of it round here.

Your photos look very much like the paths I run along. The wild garlic area that I pass through is something to behold, it seems to get bigger every year, its at its best when at its maximum 'smelly stage.' Phew!

If anybody is (very ) bored, this is about the area near the secret lake. Tried to get some ruin pics but its very overgrown. Tons of history about the place.

Do you like salads and low calorie cocktails? What are the random seeming words to the right of the pictures?

The fallen trees may keep the lake more secret. I was disappointed when I found that the fallen tree almost blocking my local river bank path had been cleared, as I am now more likely to meet others.
