I walked for a few miles today in the Lincolnshire countryside. The weather was comfortable for walking today, a bit overcast and with a light breeze rather than the full sun baking me whilst I walk!
There was a very convenient bench for a stop for a brew.
It was a good walk and Michael is cooking again for Father’s Day roast pork and Yorkshire puddings, just what I like.
Last night, following a leisurely dinner at the campsite, we left the washing up and took a short trip out to the coast for the sunset.
As the weather was going to be good yesterday I walked a section of the Lincolnshire, Spires and Steeples walk, from Ruskington to Metheringham. Today I will sit in front of my laptop and do the work for Octagon.
There was a challenge early in the walk to deal with!
I decided to walk back down the path a way, and wait to see if the bull would move from the style. This he eventually did and that was my chance – walking across the field briskly, keeping my eye on the bull the whole way. I also watched the cows with calves to make sure I did not get too close to them.
Usefully there was a warning and some instructions on the other side of the field!

Being that the walk is called “Spires and Steeples” there were many opportunities to photograph the village churches.
Thomas a Becket – Digby
St Clement – Rowston
Holy Cross – Scopwick
St Oswald – Blankney
St Wilfrid – Metheringham

I got a few miles in today, walking near Branston.
Unusually, for a Sunday, there was a lot of flight activity from RAF Waddington. Most of which seemed to fly right over me.
