I haven't been out and about walking much lately due to my allergies but this afternoon I felt a desperate need to do so.
October 1st and a wonderful Autumn day. Cool and crisp with a lovely blue sky and a light breeze. The forecast for the next few days is not so good so today was the day.
I had pulled a muscle in my back when changing the bed linen recently and had been in pain for a day or so. A walk ought to loosen me up so off I popped.
From our front gate the lane rises quite steadily up to a car parking area before it levels off and I started off at a very brisk pace, to see how far I could keep it up. I was pleased with myself for managing it right up to the top.
The view was my reward...
On the way back to the house..
Only half an hour, but I feel better for it.
Hope you enjoyed your walk JayCee. Showery here today before Storm Alex arrives. The third picture with the lane and trees looks like a painting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave. It was very bright in the sunshine so I think that had an effect on the photo.
DeleteI expect Alex will turn up here tomorrow.
Pork dripping, WD40 or vegetable oil - Lord Peregrine could choose any one of these for the post-walk massage. By the way, lovely sharp pictures JayCee.
ReplyDeleteThanks YP. The photos are only taken on my 'phone but I think the bright sunshine helps.
DeleteIf P were to offer a massage he would probably be more likely to use a light sandpaper. "Toughen you up old girl".
I could direct him to some instructive massage videos.
DeleteI feel the same about walking. I dont always feel like making the effort but I invariablt feel better when i have done so.
ReplyDeleteFresh air and exercise. Wonderful medicine.
DeleteBeautiful pix. We got our first snowfall today, a little late, but thankfully it has gone already.
ReplyDeleteSnow??? Yikes.
DeleteWonderful place to walk. Hope your back is better
ReplyDeleteThanks LA. A hot water bottle is currently doing the trick.
DeleteThey do say that walking is good for a bad back, I should try it.

It hurt at first but the pain eased off after a few minutes.
DeleteSitting on the sofa seems to make mine worse.
I see animals and faces in most clouds. Not those, though - well, there might be a horse or two.
ReplyDeleteIf I squint a little I can see a fox peeking out at the top of the first one.
DeleteLovely views. Exercise can help an aching back. Better to use it than lose it, as they say.
ReplyDeleteI am certainly losing my marbles!
