Walking with the Vikings - Craft plans

Hello there, its been a busy few weeks. How are you, I've had a virus (not THEE virus) but horrible all the same. It started with a headache that left, a few days later I had flu symptoms, that left. Phew I thought, until bedtime... all my limbs felt like the weight of them were being dragged downwards. It was awful, that feeling lasted for days, with nights being the worst.

I've taken a few pictures on my camera but with no real purpose. I've photographed part of some cooking but forget to photo the finished product! I've also gone back on instagram... It feels wrong to say it's wasting time but it's true, I create/read or I scroll... but not both. I have found that I can log out, so I do, a lot. It's the only way for me.

 

One Saturdays a few weeks ago we set off for a walk 'with a nice clean dog.' It obviously didn't take him long to get muddy. Armed with water for Angus, our trusty local guide book, and a packet of humbugs we took our walking boots and set off. Being late in the day, we had the place almost to ourselves. It was a warm dry evening, not exactly a wooded area but enough to believe you're walking in the woods. 

Following one of the Spring walks in Summertime, meant that the bluebells and daffodils were no longer in bloom. That didn't spoil our walk, it was enough to extend our usual distance walk round the local area and Angus certainly enjoyed it. 

Lincolnshire is a large county so most walks require a bit of a journey. Our walk takes in part of the Spa Trail and the village of Martin. Continue in either direction along the old disused railway line and the Spa Trail will take you to Horncastle or Woodall Spa. It's good solid ground perfect for walking, pushchairs and cyclists. If you hear a bell, step aside for the bikes.

Along the Spa Trail are several metal sculptures celebrating the Viking connection. 

NOT a headless dog, the head end is busy sniffing EVERY thing and wondering if water, mud or rabbit droppings will be found on this walk. 

Well he certainly found the mud whilst seeking out a drink from a stream. 

It was a nice walk finished off with a stop at another beauty spot on the way home to bath the dog ha ha. 

Have you been out walking recently?
