Walking today between the showers

The office informed me that today was World Photography Day – so they have used some of these shots in our social media today.

River Nethy

We came back to the same place as yesterday but walked in the opposite direction.

It is a castle ruin outside Nethy Bridge with excellent views – and a Highland Cow.

National Forest Way to the River Trent

The National Forest Way passes by Wychnor Park Country Club – so before it got too hot this morning I walked out to the River Trent along the path.

Along the way, I found a suitable spot for to brew a coffee, out in the countryside but definitely in the shade – my bush hat can only keep so much sun off me.
