As the song says, today was a beautiful morning for a walk! I was on my own and wrapped up warm, as it it was the coldest morning, so far this season. However, there was no wind and all the mud of last week had frozen to a crunch, and then there was a fantastic sunrise...
I was soon away from the main roads and into countryside that has the Charlton Viaduct as a photogenic backdrop! The sun made everything glow, especially the last few leaves left on the trees. I could smell the cider apples being processed even though I must have been half a mile from the actual factory! That must be why as soon as I got home it was straight to my juicer to make a juice based on apples! It is the season for English apples so I mixed apples from my parent's garden, with celery, mint and parsley - not a combination I had tried before, but it made a delicious refreshing drink...
I was on public footpaths, but one path led, with a stile, to a field full of cattle with horns (see above), who did not look friendly, so I had to double back! And I thought farmer's were meant to keep public rights of way clear of obstacles...
The walk home took me past the local allotments which look interesting whatever time of year...
