training April

Following the Potter we next did a day of walking part, not all, of the Sandstone Trail. Really it was just a case of getting out and re-stretching the legs with the sole purpose of trying to get a few more miles in the legs.

What you can't see here is just how windy a day it was - in some places a howling hoolie. Spring was just about starting - a few chiffchaff were about, lapwing were in the fields, and wood anenome's a violets were flowering.

A one point we were walking alongside a water drainage ditch recently cleared. In amongst the debris was the biggest horse-shoe seen to date. I took it home thinking /hoping it was from some long-gone Suffolk punch working the fields.

 It's amazing what else you see in out of the way places.
