Tuesday 9th October was the most glorious day so I set off for a walk along the canal near where I am house sitting.
The day was beautiful and the blues of the sky and the river looked so lovely
Although there was unfortunately some road noise, louder in parts along the canal than others, the beauty shone through.
Birds could be heard in the trees and fields.
Canal boats were moored along the canal. These looked like they had their own personal mooring and land.
A swan was busy looking for food.
The cows were grazing in the fields.
Walking back it was still beautiful
Just loved the reflection and colours here.
A really nice day and I was very proud of myself for having walked so far. I actually walked 11.5 km!! It was no mean feat and although I was really sore afterwards being able to soak in a warm bath later in the evening seemed to really help. I am trying to beat the pain myself - trying hard to ignore it - and to some extent this day I achieved my goal. I didn't think I would be able to walk as far as I did, and although I almost had to crawl through the front door when I got home it was worth it.
