Yesterday's walk, after a pedal around Blakeney, Cley Next the Sea and nearby lanes & villages, was also around Blakeney harbour, the Norfolk Coastal Path that is also Peddars Way.
Up with the lark at my usual work time of 02:50, I was parked up in a rare free soace near the harbour front. Ride finished by 08:15, I started my walk. No particular distance or roite in mind, i just meandered around the footpaths and village enjoying the sea air and relative peace & quiet before too many (other) day trippers arrived.
No further description needed, really.. Just under 5 miles walked before having a coffee & Croque Monsieur from the quite pricey café overlooking the harbour.

Today I decided a sojourn into Oxford was on the agenda.
After around 1.5 hours on the bus, some replenishment required
Next, a stroll around Christchurch to walk it all off
A peak into the Botanic Gardens
Through the town centre, hoards of tourists as always
And onto the Ashmolean Museum
Whilst in there I noticed the Turner painting of a view I had taken by chance earlier, here they are side by side
A very nice walk, and a pleasant few hours in the City of Dreaming Spires.

After a 20 mile ride from St Ives to Grantchester to meet up with my sister, we walked over the fields, avoiding the soggy parts, to cross the M11.
T'was very breezy, but, happily, not cold. We ended up in the The Orchard Tearooms for an early lunch and a chat for an hour before wandering around Grantchester Meadows (I could almost here strains of Pink Floyd in the breeze!)
Back via the Red Lion for an orange juice with more nattering before she dropped me off at Trumpington Park & Ride wher I bagged up the Brommie and used my ol' farts free bus pass to get back to the car i St Ives..
5 miles or so.. Most enjoyable 👌

A nice short 3.6 mile hoof today.
No pic's but I did see one of these:
Only the second 'red' I have seen in the 26 years of living here.
The little bugger thwarted my own attempts to take a photo!

Yet to see a red squirrel. Nearest to me are on the Isle of Wight or Brownsea Island. Maybe one day.

RHS Wisley today. A little cloud, but mostly beautiful sun.
Had missed the cherry blossom by a long shot; the trees were in full leaf with no hint of flowers left! Otherwise, tulips, bluebells, azaleas, rhododendrons, wysteria and so on... but most of the colour is yet to come.
What the hell is this green alien bloom?

I definitely need to up my game on the picture front. Today's one feeble, crappy shot of the radar 'golfballs' on Great Dun Fell from Cross Fell. My mate is in the pic' too. Anyway 1/10 for picture quality and 7/10 for route choice.
Cross Fell is England's highest point outside of the Lake District @ 893m/2930' and is located a short drive East of Penrith.
A nice, easy up & down on a nice, warm day. 9.68 miles.
