After I left the Garden centre, I went to our local Nature reserve.. which is a wild marshy place where lots of varieties of birds, nest.... and is popular with walkers, and Bird watchers, lots of Bird Hides there as well... wooded walks and a canal as well as the resrvoir add to the joy for most outdoor people a dn is somewhere i go often.. have done for decades...
To get to it I have to leave my car , and walk across a Railway line.. which is very busy with trains, and in fact I'd just crossed the railway by 20 seconds when a fast train came hurtling past...
Just over the railways line is the canal.. with the narrowboats moored up... there's many more in summer... I stood on the small bridge to take these photos of both sides of the canal
Further into the Nature reserve are long woodland walks... I usually walk the whle length which is about 5 mile round trip, but yesterday I didn't I just walked in about a mile...I had come out wearing clothes that were too hot to walk in...
So that was a glimpse of some of my day yesterday.......
