Woodland Walks
We’ve decided to venture a little further afield today. Our hours exercise tends to lend itself to a half-hour each-way round trip through the housing estate and woods which back onto it, but today we’re going in a straight line. There is a farm up the road from us in Billinge which often puts out a number of painted hay bails when the weather improves and I think last year hosted a fun run.
This year, they’ve made a series of scarecrows to highlight the work of Key Workers during the pandemic such as nurses, police, drivers and the like. It’s a really colourful display and they’ve included a JustGiving page link so whoever passes can donate.
We don’t pass a soul on our way there or back and we’re back home in just over an hour, with our instinctive rules-following spider-senses tingling all of the way! Sometimes I think we can take rules a little too literally, there isn’t a queue of people waiting to be tagged out of their home when we pass, tutting and pointing at their watches but I suppose that’s a part of who we are as people. Hopefully, if we can all try to follow the guidance as best we can and give each other a wide berth for a bit longer, we can get this mess under control.
