Meeting up at the lay by, 22 walkers altogether.
The weather forecast was rain for later on in the afternoon. Hopefully, we won't need full waterproof regalia.
Off up into the countryside leaving the roads behind us for a while.
Looking to the left, although not shown in the picture, residents of Broughton Astley were remarking on how far new building had extended from the old boundaries of the village.
We think these units are old piggeries. They're certainly showing their age, a bit saggy in the middle nowadays (if you know what I mean!).
No sign of Percy today.
Perhaps he's got a new tractor and not changed the sign.
Broughton Astley is twinned with Gévezé a commune in the Ille-et-Vilaine department in Brittany in northwestern France.
Walking into the local park to check on the W.I.'s tree planted to commemorate 100 years.
After a stroll through part of the village we headed for the White Horse and a cuppa.
Nothing like a cup of coffee/tea and a bit of sunshine to make everyone smile.
After a long 1/2 hour we got ready for the walk back to the cars.
Past the church again and back along the bridle track leading to the cars.
A couple of daffodil shots - spring is on the way.
Looking forward to next week - hope the weather will be as nice as it was today.
