We Recharge our Batteries in the Countryside

Confection, of the Midlands branch, makes a very good guide and yesterday he took us to the outskirts of Coventry for another calorie busting walk.

Early on in the walk he showed us some of the new footpath signs that the Midlands branch have helped to put in as part of their philantropic work. Confection is passionate about getting people out of their cars to enjoy the countryside under their own steam, so this is one of his pet projects and he is setting a very high standard of workmanship.


The weather was even better than the day before and yes, we even got some sunshine which made our teddy bears picnic in the woods even more enjoyable. Yes, we know that having sandwiches as big as, if not bigger, than ourselves, is not the best way to shed calories, but the left over turkey and ham was really tasty and we did have a healthy clementine for pudding.


After lunch we came across a big holly bush really laden with lovely red berries. Even though Christmas is now mostly over, the 12 days of Christmas are not up, so Noel bearfully braved the prickles to gather some for us.

We hope your day was as lovely as ours.
