After a bowl of carrot and parsnip soup with the biggest chunk of fresh bread I have ever seen, a sit together and a good catch up chat we noticed that it seemed to have stopped raining so we set off for our walk. There were snowdrops on the banks along the lane...
... the ones on one side of the lane were all but over whilst the other side they were still fresh - more shelter on one side I suppose.
Primroses looked lovely here and there - always fresh looking they looked especially beautiful in the dampness of the hedgerows after the rain.
As you can see there would have been little point in hoping for distant views but the misty effect was beautiful nonetheless.
We had been walking for about half an hour when the rain came down again and after a while we decided to call it a day and make our way back to the village for tea and cake rather than get even wetter than we already were!
Not far now....
Christmas roses and primroses back in the village...
I enjoyed the walk and as long as I don't have to stay wet I like walking in the rain even if the views are veiled in dampness and as I said in my previous post to be in touch with Nature fills a need in me and to judge by many of your comments I am not the only one.
I have the maps and booklets etc out planning this year's Bus Pass Trip. I am thinking of staying in one place this time and going out from there rather than constantly moving on. We'll see what transpires!
Being in touch with Nature is essential, especially after such a wet and wearisome Winter. Snowdrops and primroses make for a lovely walk!
ReplyDeleteA lovely walk, and such a pleasure to see banks of wild flowers. Apparently every other day this week is going to be like this.
ReplyDeleteA walk can be lovely whatever the weather, especially a walk with a friend. I look forward to hearing more about the plans for your bus pass trip.
ReplyDeleteWhen I could walk any distance, it was always my pleasure to walk in the rain or drizzle, it made me feel more alive somehow.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading your next Bus Pass trip.
You are so lucky to have so many places to walk and enjoy nature, even when it rains. Not much like that here fortunately. We've had a couple of glorious warmer days, much appreciated after weeks of snow and freezing cold. We took our first walk around the neighborhood this evening in ages, it was lovely. The crocus and daffodils are just now appearing as green shoots.
ReplyDeleteThere is no such thing as bad weather...........sounds like a lovely afternoon!
ReplyDeleteSounds lovely - despite the weather! We're having warm sunny days here now, so a good time to walk out and see what Spring has brought!
