A slow one this morning as I could feel my sciatica pulling every time I put my left leg down. Still, I carried on (although I was so very tempted to cut it short!) and made it all the way around. I went past the farm this morning too. The horses were there but the cows are out in a field somewhere. The sheep were happy on their hillock too.

Have a brilliant Sunday. 💙

A quiet one this morning; I think everyone was having a lie-in! Plus, I did the exact same walk as yesterday, but Strava recorded 1km less! Go figure 🤣

A gorgeous walk this morning.

The swallows and swifts have returned. I saw a flock of barn swallows over the meadows in the Naturpark and even managed to get one before it flew away. Go, me! 😆 The swifts haven't been dancing yet, but I can hear their screeches every morning and evening.

Have a brilliant Friday. 💕

Cloudy but very warm, humid, and still today. It almost feels like the calm before a storm. There is one forecast for this evening so I'm keeping my fingers crossed it actually happens!

Have a great Sunday, whatever you do.

Off out again this morning. My favourite part of the walk is through the woods with all the bird songs. Next to that is walking past the meadows, seeing the bees and butterflies flit from one wildflower to the next; with insects buzzing around, caring not one whit about the human in their midst.

I have now completed 50% of the H&M Move #HoweverYouMove Challenge!

Have a great Saturday!

My first walk of May and it seems as though everything has bloomed since I was last out on the 28th of April! Everywhere I look, I can see that fresh spring green, bright and vivid. I also saw lots of Orange-Tips today. They were lovely, fluttering about from flower to flower.

Have a brilliant Friday.

I went for a lovely ramble in the rain today! I got wet but who cares?! I only saw four other people - two dog walkers, one jogger, and one dude who looked like he was on his way to work. The rest of the time it was just me, bird song, and the sound of rain on my umbrella. Perfect!

Hope your Friday is brilliant.

I've just realised I didn't post my walk today! The horror!!! Anyway, here it is now.

It was sunny and cold this morning and the walking groups were out again. Still, they were soon gone and the bird song returned.

No walk tomorrow as it's Library Day, but I'll be back on Friday morning.

The weather was different to usual. Normally, because Schloßborn is in a valley, we get the mist and fog whilst Glashütten, which is higher up, gets the sun. Today that was swapped around, although the cloud is coming here now too.

I went a bit slower than usual as I strapped my ankle back up again as it was aching yesterday. This healing lark seems to be taking forever!

My usual quiet morning walk was anything but quiet this morning as I think every walking club was out with their Nordic walking sticks! I must have passed at least four groups. And let's not forget the dog walkers too! 🤣

Have a brilliant Monday.

I was looking forward to a peaceful walk this morning - just me and the birds. Instead, I got followed by two chatty Cathies who I only left behind about halfway around, when they went back to Schloßborn and I carried on to Glashütten!

The green is definitely overtaking the brown! Loved my walk today. Have a fantastic Saturday.

We had quite the rainstorm last night so it was a misty morning. That also brought out all the slugs and worms, which I avoided where possible! The slugs are easier to see because of their colouring against the trail. Unfortunately, I may have squished a couple of worms but I did try not to!

Have a fantastic Friday. 💙

A cold one with Little Pud this morning with Strava recording 3/4 of the walk. Yes, we got wet. No, we didn't care. 🤣

A walk with the girls this morning, although I forgot to get photographic evidence! 😆 Only a short one (3,73km) but it was warm and breezy. More and more coming into bloom which is lovely to see.

A glitch yet again. Out for 50 minutes, recorded for 2! A slow walk through the woods with Mr Shep. It was so good to get out in the fresh air.

Strava didn't record again this morning. Good job I know the route! We'd had a good frost too, followed by clear blue skies and sunshine.

The girls and I also went to MTZ this morning so Big Pud could get her sixteenth birthday present from Nanny and Grandad - a ring from Pandora! She actually got two because it was a discount day and the one she really really wanted was only 40€.

Strava didn't record again today but luckily, I've done this route enough to know I did my 5k. A gorgeous morning to switch off my brain and just enjoy being out in nature, surrounded by birdsong.

Have a brilliant Tuesday.

A small lunchtime meander with Mr Shep. And I took my umbrella this time! 😝 Not many photos as we were too busy talking. And now back in time for brunch.

Have a wonderful Sunday

I went a little later today as it was torrential rain at the time I would normally go. I saw a break in the rain and decided to go for it. I made it about a third of the way around and the heavens opened. I was drenched within minutes! And it was way too windy for an umbrella. 🤣 Just as I neared home, it stopped and the sun came out. Oh well, at least I haven't melted! 🧙‍♀️
