Walk in Tehidy

With a couple of hours of free time this afternoon I took Hamish to Tehidy Country Park for a walk.  Once parked we began by walking alongside the Tehidy Golf course and thankfully there were no wayward shots today!

There was a sign up explaining why part of the area was fenced off …

It was very quiet and we almost had the place to ourselves …

Unfortunately I was too late to get a coffee and cake at the Cafe as it was closed so we walked around to look at the lake before re-tracing our steps back to the car …

Walk to Kingsbury Water Park

After two hectic days we decided to have a lazy time at the campsite and just take a walk into the Water Park.  We set off along the road and entered by the main entrance.  We soon arrived at one of the lakes and took a circular route around it.

We passed the sailing club on the way but being mid-week it was deserted …

Back where we’d started we made for the cafe for coffees and watched the wildlife feeding …

There were also other things to see – the farmer at rest and a bee box …

We had a look at the map as we were hoping to go back to the campsite via the woodland walk which would bring us out at the subway and into the area where we’d walked the dogs.

We passed the little railway …

and walked into the woods …

We then saw the sign for the campsite and Mike was thrilled to finally find the subway …

In the evening we all went to Fazeley for a meal with Paul’s mum and step-dad plus the newly-weds.  We sat outside with the dogs and had a lovely time …

A Host of Golden ...

Daffodils!

I went to the surgery with Mike this morning and while he was inside collecting his prescription I took these photos of daffodils in the field behind it ...

I just love daffodils!

Primrose and Moth

Out walking Hamish this morning I spotted a primrose growing on Primrose Terrace!

I had to photograph it and when I looked closely I saw it had a moth sitting on a leaf ...

I'm not 'into' moths so have no idea what it is - maybe someone can tell me.
