This recent sunshine in the Midlands has been a delight & hopefully others areas have had a taste too .!I planned my start at a pub called the Gate Hangs Well , at Woodgate , but when I arrived it was being demolished . I knew it was boarded up but didn`t expect that.. So I parked in a lay by very close by . Then walked to the start point and promptly headed off in the wrong direction . I thought of Little Foot at the time and her post headed Walking Disaster. Can I join the club please . It was because I imagined the pub on the opposite side of the road to what it actually is ( why I do not know ) but I took my reference point from that perception....Totally wrong but there you go. Anyway I got sorted and hoped any demolition guys had not noticed me looking perplexed and bewildered .For most of the walk it was blue skies all round .The dead trunk shape reminds me of Sid from The Ice Age films... I made another friend upon leaving the canal to head southward .Beware the robotic hover mower !!It was spring like ..Lovely The sunshine makes all the difference .I am definitely a fair weather walker nowadays ..Thanks for having a gander .
Robotic mowers v woolly mowers, pretty roe deer and scary tree stump, blue sky green grass, glorious day but demolished pub. All life is here and I do love a horse with a moustache[/font]
Lovely photos G&P, you did really well catching the deer. This weather is definitely the pick-me-up we all need.I wonder how many 'longest flight of locks' there are in the country, I'm sure that's not the first one I've seen.
Now I have heard it all..A tracking device on a robotic mower..how the other half live .
Chuckles....I hand`t noticed the tache on that friendly horse ..you didn`t notice that fringe.?
Mower belonged to a hotel, which had huge lawns, the tracker was so they could find it, if it hadn't come home!
Nice photos of a nice area with great views across to the Malvern Hills - thanks for posting
Some gorgeous photos there, G&P - what a difference the sun makes! Good catch with the deer.I do enjoy walking along canal towpaths - there's something about being beside the still water.
Lookng better than my fringe - obviously his hairdresser is still working
...I don`t mind my long hair at the moment it keeps my head warm on these cold mornings
Lovely sunny Midlands scenery and pics again I like it too, being a teen of the sixties and all, but by the time lockdown ends I think I'll need a thatcher rather than a hairdresser (or maybe that robotic mower!).
