Weekend Walking
Last weekend we took part in a charity walk organised by friends who are raising money for their son-in-law who has motor neurone disease. We did a similar walk last year for the same cause. The walk started and ended, conveniently, at The Moat House a large pub/hotel in Acton Trussell, a village just outside Stafford. We joined the walk at lunchtime for the last 6.7 miles. After a misty morning the sun came out and we started our walk at a pub at Milford Common. When the walking resumed highlights included seeing deer roaming freely in Cannock Chase, the last of the flowering purple heather, peaceful countryside and rural views. The joy of a soft sofa and warming coffee at the pub afterwards was pretty memorable too. As usual there was plenty of chat along the way but I did manage to get a few photos to remember a beautiful autumn afternoon well spent.
such gorgeous images from your walk ... the spiders web looks like beads of pearls ~ so beautiful!

You've captured some of the best bits of an Atumnal walk. Olly is obsessed by spiders webs at the moment. Yours is beautiful.

What a wonderful walk. The spider's web is amazing, how lovely to be able to see all of the little details of how it was made - fantastic. CJ xx

ReplyDeleteFabulous autumn pictures and the one of the spider's web is stunning.
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog, and love the idea of "just a little less." In this more-more world, I'm trying to figure out a less cluttered, consumer driven, life. I'm a rookie trying to figure simplicity out. Your pictures are wonderful, and sounds like a great way to support and spend time with friends. I blog at http://newframereference.blogspot.com but still figuring things out.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a wonderful walk, I love the picture of the spiders web! xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos indeed - they are stunning! As well as the gifts nature has shown us, you have a real gift with photography. Thank you for these beautiful images, and a very inspirational blog.
