In a country which offers such a large variety of geological/topological beauty, all within easy access, I have no choice on such mornings: Poppy! Get your lead and lets go!
Whether you go to your local park, or travel a little further, the promise of a brisk walk in our beautiful country, to fill our lungs full of fresh air and adjust our artistic eyes to the views is simply irresistible.
With a heart filled with romantic visions of autumn, Poppy and I have gorged ourselves this past week at our local haunt: Ashton’s and Neumann’s Flashes, Northwich.
The circuit we do is less than 2 miles, however the enjoyment is immeasurable!
Yesterday we were joined by a Birding friend of ours, and in addition to the usual suspects, spotted Curlews, Teals, Shovellers and a suspected reed warbler! (all appearing the size of a large dog, thanks to her amazing scope!).
So get your fleece on, grab your dog/kids/grandkids and tell us where you went! (Photos please!)
