Walking

Today I went for a walk with two of my sisters. Since giving up paid employment, my quality of life has improved to the point where these little strolls have become a regular thing. My youngest sister, Lucy, usually texts me a grid reference and we meet up and walk out on a route from one of her many walking books. Today, we were joined by another of my sisters, Diane. It was pleasant just to walk and talk, spend half an hour in a pub over a drink before setting out again and munching sandwiches in the presence of a Bronze Age stone circle. Cold though it was, there’s something pleasant about the English countryside even in the depths of winter.
