A Short Walk

It was such a lovely, sunny morning and my leg felt easier than it has done for the past couple of weeks so we took a gentle stroll around The Brampton.

The museum closes on Mondays so we didn't get to see the local art exhibition inside.

 The sun was shining brightly and it felt quite warm.

Vera Brittain was still on her seat reading her letter from the trenches.

Spring flowers were blooming along the paths and across the grass.

We saw the first small tortoiseshell butterfly of the year.  A yellow Brimstone was the first butterfly in our garden, spotted over the weekend.

 

It was good to be out and about for a short while.

I hope to catch up with all your blogs again soon.  It may take some time as sitting for any length of time at the computer is uncomfortable.

I've just realised that I've been blogging for seventeen years.  I started this blog on 14th March 2005.  Where did all that time go?

      Thank you RR, I hope so too, still painful at the moment. I loved seeing the Spring flowers and the Tortoiseshell was the icing on the cake. Lovely to see the Brimstone too in the sunshine. Take care:)

    I'm glad that you were able to get out for a short walk and I hope your leg gets better so that you can fully enjoy times out and about. Springtime is such a lovely time of the year. How wonderful to see butterflies which is something I've yet to see myself.

      I think the warmer weather over the next few days may will bring a few butterflies out of hiding. We see Brimstones over here a few times each year. The crocuses were lovely:)

    What a treat to see all that sunlight on the flowers especially when today's Bern so wet and miserable. Great to see that Brimstone too. I think we're in for a sunny couple of weeks too. 😊

    It might have been a short walk but wasn't it beautiful, real spring picture with the crocus and daffodils.

    Making blog rounds so thought I'd pop in to say hi. Hope your leg is doing even better and that you've been able to get out and get a walk in.

      Thank you Sandy. I'm able to get out and walk although the leg is still painful, I'm hoping the medication, which too me some time to get used to, is chasing the blood clot away:)
