Like a mud bath.

 At last, a decent day for a walk. I had a big cooked breakfast. My usual route, but look how muddy it is now. I wasn't going to walk along here because of the mud, but today I needed to be alone in the countryside, far from people. Being in nature recharges my batteries, 

I wasn't quite alone for the first ten minutes of my walk, I had a chat with a total stranger. He was a very nice young man who works for the water board, he was checking some equipment. I thought I would be a bit cheeky and ask him if I could climb the steps inside the water tower, so I could take some photo's. He said no, health and safety and all that. I knew he couldn't let me do that, but worth an ask. A chance meeting like that makes a walk a bit more interesting. 

When I got off this muddy path and onto the road I saw a familiar vehicle coming towards me. Stan in his mobile library was on his way to a nearby village. Frantic waving from both of us as I stepped onto the grass verge, The road is quite narrow there. 

Had to take a break while writing this, now I've lost the thread. My bestie friend Carol rang for a natter. She has gone back to volunteering at the charity shop three days a week, because she hasn't much else to do. Good to have a catch up with her, and swap family news. 

I'm sure there was something else to add here, but it's gone from my head. Best wrap it up then. Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip. ilona
