Walking and strolling

We have been very good with our walking and strolling, my GKB and I.

Sometimes we stroll along the Silverstream and have views like this to look at.

This was along the 'left bank'. 

When you get to the end of our street and go onto the floodbank 

you can turn either left or right. 

One side is flanked by the Silverstream and farmland and in the case of the 'left bank', 

it is farmland on both sides.

If you turn right it is private dwellings on one side, 

most of them have lovely gardens to admire, 

and the Silverstream and farms on the other.

It is a shared space, 

cyclists, joggers, walkers and dogs with their humans.

It's never boring.

We met a dog with her man a couple of days ago,

she takes him out at 1:30pm every day

 regardless of the weather, so he said.

I meant to get a picture of them but got so busy talking I forgot.

Oh well..

Sometimes, like today, we head for a park. 

I wanted to go to the library before we head up to the caravan 

so we took a walk around the gardens at the adjacent park.

They are dressed in their mid summer frocks at the moment

and are rather pretty.

House sparrow.
 I believe he is a male, as the males wear a bib on their chest.

We had a bit of a sit before we headed home again

and this little fellow came looking for crumbs.

He had a few mates with him but I'm afraid we disappointed them all

 because we hadn't really thought about feeding the birds.

Maybe next time we'll be better prepared!

We are off to the caravan in a couple of days,

so until we get back look after yourselves.

Have a good week everyone,

Diana
