Well, the weather man said it was going to be a fine day, and so it was.
We drove from Cosby to Blaby and parked in Bouskell Park.
For info:
Bouskell Park is an attractive area of parkland set on the remains of a medieval village. It is an old Victorian parkland with a pond, ice house, grassland and woodland.
It didn't take long to get ready and after the usual chat we set off for Wigston.
The Long Walk out of Bouskell Park with the sun streaming down among the trees was breathtaking.
We walked past the very well maintained cemetery on the outskirts of Blaby.
The photographers amongst us always ready for a good shot.
The banter went on and on.
We've walked past this bent tree many times - it still raises a smile or two.
Yep, they're still talking.
Somebody spotted a selection of late blackberries.
Entering Wigston we noticed the plants had been taken out of the planter - indicative that Autumn is well and truly with us.
Waiting at the lights before crossing to Tesco and a cuppa.
Our destination.
After a good natter we left to return the same way as we came.
Art work?
For info:
Wigston College. Over the last 2 years we have been working closely with the Local Authority to provide an improved vision for the Wigston Academies Trust Campus. This includes two new buildings to join together Site A (formerly Abington Academy) and Site B (formerly Bushloe High School).
On our way back through Wigston Park.
Over the Grand Union Canal bridge.
Back down the lanes heading towards Blaby.
The last 200 yds and Bouskell Park.
It was a short walk but very enjoyable.
Looking forward to next week's surprise walk. Don't forget to bring your Bus Pass if you have one.
