After pretty much a whole long week of low grey cloud, fog and damp drizzle, we woke up yesterday {Sunday} to the bliss of clear blue sky and sunshine. These bright sunshiny days are so precious at this time of year that it would've been criminal to stay indoors, so off we jolly well went, into the great Outdoors.
Oh.My.Goodness. It was just sooooo beautiful. The amazing colours, the unexpected warmth of the sun, the clarity of the light, it was absolutely magical. We walked slowly, ambling, chatting, taking it all in. We spent quite a bit of time at the water's edge where there is a small sandy beach and it is shallow enough to paddle. It was lovely to watch my three Little People play together, it doesn't happen often these days as LM (now 12 years old and as tall as me) is growing fond of his own space when we're at home. But when we're out and about, we get a glimpse of his still-young self and it is wonderful to observe. The larking about, the gentle teasing, the laughter, the fun. Thank goodness it is all still there between the three of them, and oh how I enjoyed it all yesterday as we walked around the water together.
I've shared this local walk a good number of times on my blog now, it's a favourite destination when all we want/need is a very short drive and one hour of fresh air, gentle exercise and amazing scenery. I absolutely LOVE to see how this walk of ours changes through the seasons, do take a quick look... {Spring} {Summer} {Winter}

A perfect way to blow the cobwebs away, it was lovely Saturday down south but been grey and foggy since, but I'm still enjoying the view of the windmill from our house no matter the season, just been posting about it
