Seventeen walkers assembled at the Cosby Village Hall car park eager to soak up the sun. We set off for Mowsley and it promised to be a good day for walking.
Mowsley village has under 100 dwellings, a pub and no school.
We walked out of Mowsley and headed for Laughton keeping to a small lane as the the fields are just not walkable at present.
The countryside can be so beautiful at this time of the year, you have just got to get out and see it.
In Laughton we stopped to admire the snowdrops. They were the first large show that most of us had seen this year.
We left Laughton as the time on the sun dial showed that we should be making tracks.

Heading for Gumley by a gated road we had some great views of Leicestershire as we were quite high up.
Spring lambs were evident in some fields and other people were out on horseback.
After our break we all got ready for the walk back to Mowsley. All seventeen of us bade farewell to mine host and promised to return as soon as possible.
We took a picture of Gumley Church on our way out of the village.
Some of the party came across a very apt van down one of the lanes.
We really enjoy our retirement.
The cap only gets turned in the wind.
Well, it was a great day, everybody enjoyed the walk and we all hope next week is as good weather wise.
On Sunday Willie and Sheila went for a walk to spot snowdrops and aconites and they also spotted a robin and lambs. No doubt we will hear more about their expedition next week
