I usually end up going on some sort of walk on a Sunday, seeing as it's the day of the week that stays empty of plans for longest, but today I decided to make a conscious decision to try and go for a walk every Sunday. With summer apparently approaching, I am hopeful that more days will be filled with some sunshine and light breezes, good conditions for a stroll. This morning started out well so Mum and I went to Mulgrave Woods, a small forest next to Sandsend village.
Mother and I had some great conversations about how the woods are managed, asking ourselves things like 'how do they remember where they've left each tractor' seeing as they're literally dotted around in the trees, seemingly randomly. Then the heavens opened, so my camera went away. Even though the rain turned the scenery more grey, it brought out the scents of everything; the wild onions and wild garlic, and the piles of wood dotted around. It was refreshing and very pleasant to feel like we were in the middle of nowhere when in reality we were only a few miles from home.
The wonders of the countryside.
