Riverside Walking


It is so sunny and hot we decided that a walk by the river would be cooling.
We were not alone as many dog lovers take their pets down to cool off.
These pictures show other reasons to enjoy the walk.
A Mallard taking in the sun.
A tree fallen, which has received a helping hand to thrive in The Nettles.
'The Nettles' nature reserve, which has a team of craft's people who make the thickets
and voluntees who help to keep the area clear of wind strewn rubbish.
May I thank MissM for alerting me to my mistake in naming this area Lollycocks field.
A Moorhen, starting to build her nest.
There a plenty of fish in the river which shows good water quality.
We did see a 12 inch trout,although most other visible fish were no biger
than 6 or 7 inches.

That looks like a lovely walk, and I love the propped tree!

(Thank you for the England good luck charm, it worked!!)

Hi dancin' thanks for your visit.
It was a lovely walk.
Well done on England winning too. Bet the match was enjoyed by lots of people.

Hello Bowledover, I love your site and I'm skipping through your blogs with interest. Just a little correction, the two beautiful photographs in the middle don't picture Lollycocks field, this small piece of land is called 'the Nettles' and artsNK with a small but dedicated Volunteer group keeps it nice, tidy and creative. Lollycocks is on the other side of the river and another beautiful retreat.

Thank you MissM for you visit and kind comment.
I appreciate your explaining my mistake and learning more about the artsNK.
The Nettles is a well maintained and tranquil place to wonder.
Volunteers are the salt of the earth and they are appreciated.
