We’ve had a social day today, from a distance of course, starting off with elevenses on the drive with our neighbour. The neighbour whose wife died at Easter was walking past so we invited him to join us and spent a pleasant hour or so chinning about anything, everything and nothing in particular over tea/coffee and biscuits with our chairs suitably placed. He was looking forward to a nice chicken and ham pie for his dinner with cauliflower, peas and new potatoes.
We settled on beans on toast with an egg followed by ice cream.
We decided to risk a walk in the park as it was such a lovely afternoon. There was no-one in our road, but when we approached the corner, we heard voices. Two guys were chatting on the path and made room for us to pass.
Coming towards us was a man and his dog who turned left down the cut through. Behind him was a gentleman pushing a lady in a wheelchair and across the road was a lady with two dogs coming down from the beach, both heading towards the park entrance.
Behind us now was another couple with their dog, so we timed it right to cross the road and slip in behind the the others who had now entered the park ahead of us.
There were some people chatting about the model boats on the lake, people crossing the car park, and others walking along the pathway round the lake itself in both directions.
Not today’s pictures
However, there was plenty of space between everybody so we walked to the right (picture on the left) and looped round.
We have a new brood of goslings as they were too small to be ones we’ve seen before.
Mum and Dad were watching the black thing with four legs and 2 tall things with two legs, but no hissing ensued and I got close enough to take these with my phone, but they’re not very good shots.
Maggie didn’t bother them and they didn’t bother her either.
It was a little strange though that for all the ducklings we’ve seen recently, there were none on the water today.

Coming home, we saw the guy who’d had a knee op last year which went horribly wrong walking his dog and a lady up the road on her mobility scooter, her little dog tucked in the footwell. Other than them, no-one else was about now!

Glad you were able to get out and get some fresh air. Hope Maggie enjoyed seeing “nature” and nature didn’t mind!!
She never bothered the ducks on the marina either, even off lead. However, if there was a pheasant in the undergrowth, she would ‘lift’ it.
It will do you so much good to get out a bit.
we take the dog round the block a few times every day and if out early, the park or the beach. However, since BoJo decided to relax restrictions, we’ve been on a higher alert for strangers. It was nice today though, one of the nicest Sundays we’ve had for a while.
sounds like you had a wonderful day today, with chats, meals and walk in nature. Wonderful
It was a really good day, practically normal which makes a very pleasant change.
Sounds like a very social day to me 💜
It was great to have a ‘normal’ day.
What’s normal 😖😀🎀🎀🎀
hehe. Exactly. Tea on the drive, company, and a good walk. Suits me for the minute.
Yes simple pleasures 💜
the best
Always
