Day 48

After a bit of a break due to having to be in Dublin every day last week and the canal walk, I was back in the forest for a quick lap at lunchtime. Not a lot has changed really, the weather has been showery so the water levels were about normal. The main addition is that the buttercups are now in flower. I used to hate these when I was gardening a lot but I guess they are a sign of summer.

The day was overcast but clear enough. I’ve kind of given up bothering with the long-zoom landscapes but this view of the church down the village was quite nice I thought.

We took the longer route around and I managed not to get too soaked despite the recent rain-shower. This tree has been slowly decaying for years but the root ball has provided an interesting habitat. I don’t think it will be there for much longer though as there are a few holes appearing and the soil is falling down.

It was nice to get back out for a quick walk. I have fully recovered from my exertions at the weekend but I think it will be a while before I attempt such a long section again. I certainly won’t be trying it in such hot weather.
