A Sunny Stroll

I said in my last post that I was about to go out on a stroll, and the little road I'll show you today is just the start of my wander. It's a road I often follow as it opens up a couple of possibilities to follow fieldside paths to make a longer walk. It was also a place I often walked with the children who used wheelchairs at the school where I used to work.

The sign at the start of the road tells motorists to watch out for pedestrians and I'm happy to report that they usually do; it's only the residents who use this little dead-end lane.

There are some well-kept gardens along here.

And a few old buildings like the old granary above which stands near to...

….the old farmhouse above.

It's all looking very leafy at the moment.

There's quite a mixture of housing along here - old and new, large and small are scattered at various distances from the roadside.

A very small commemoration of the 75th anniversary of VE Day attached to a British Telecom pole.

The road starts to peter out here, and there are just a couple more houses. Crossing the road in the foreground is all that remains of a tramway that connected a cement and lime works to the main railway.

There's an apple orchard just here, which I photographed through a hole in the hedge a couple of weeks ago when the trees were covered in blossom.

Now it's the Hawthorn or May blossom that's stealing the show as the road becomes a narrow footpath between the hedges.

There are a few places where you can glimpse the arable fields which are the main land-use these days.

And that's it!

Take care.
