Happy new year to you all, I hope you have a great Christmas and did not have too much to drink last night. If you noticed my new avatar and name it is because I dumped the Google Plus profile as G+ is closing in April so I needed a name, thought about Billy Blue Hat but as there is book called that I went for eyes because I have blue eyes, my wife chose the avatar because she did not want me using the one I had first.
Anyway on with the blog, My wife & I were getting fed up being at home so went out for some exercise taking one of the local walks.
Anyway one of the first paces we walked past was the brook where I noticed something but you will have to come back tomorrow to see what it was
I could have take a more photos of the walk but this one is towards Lollingdon House again I spotted something in the tree to the right which you will see tomorrow
Lollingdon Farm, back in the middle ages this was a Manor house and is one of the very few moated houses in the UK
Around the side of Lollingdon hill I walked past this seat, can't recollect it being there before but it had been varnished.
Sitting down you can get this view towards Aston Tyrrold where I seem to remember a certain Tim Henman lives. I did see him in the local pharmacy one day
Any way on with the walk and we pass the sheep on Lollingdon Hill
The pass Lollingdon Springs which is where the brook rises that you saw in the first photo.
Have a great New Years Day and all the best in 2019

Your view of the sheep is my favourite, Bill.

Beautiful country you have! I enjoyed coming along on your walk. Happy New year!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a lovely walk. I did drink too much last night but luckily not feeling too bad this morning. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year! Looks like a pleasant walk. I wondered when Google Plus was closing. Only a handful of people are still active there. Remember when they thought they would overtake Facebook? LOL.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Google plus was closing but I have to say I'm not surprised, I don't think it's a very popular social networking platform. But as for your post I agree over Winter it's good to get out for some fresh air.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful way to start off the new year. Those are beautiful areas you hiked through. Thanks for sharing your walk and have a wonderful and healthy 2019.
