The bus didn't wait.

Good evening.

It was a lovely start to the day, sunshine and blue skies. The plan was to get the 1pm bus to town, and walk back. I had a chat with my nephew on the phone, then had to rush to get ready. The bus passes the end of my road, and as I stepped out of the door it was at the bus stop. I made an effort to run. Please wait for me. It didn't. Bugger I missed it. 

Oh well, plan B. I set off walking a route I am familiar with. I will do it the opposite way round, for a change. I was determined to get a good dose of vitamin D from the sun. The last part of the track goes up a steep hill. Oh well, my fault for not getting organised earlier. 

There was a man walking his dog. A beautiful fluffy border collie. We stopped to chat. He recognised me, but I had to admit I didn't recognise him. He remembered me from walking in Reeth North Yorkshire in the summer. Amazing that he lives in my village. I must pay more attention when I am talking to people I meet while out walking. 

This track alongside the wood is usually wet and muddy. With the amount of rain we have had I half expected to be paddling through water. Surprisingly it was dry. 

Now I'm going to warm a bowl of soup up. 

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona
