Family walk

The Olympic opening ceremony has been so good.
It has captured our history, our life style, our humour, our sponetaneity........a sponteneity which of course has required many hours of practice.
I am sure much of the rest of the world has enjoyed it and understood.

Our day was about a walk. It was a circular walk from Slaugham up to Warninglid and back to Slaugham church.
The weather stayed dry, although was muggy and overcast.
We had a drink and  a packet of crisps at The Half Moon in Warninglid.
Here are a few pictures - no time for much more; I want to go back to the TV for the final part of the ceremony.



























This is the lake near Slaugham that we discovered last month.
Then the bank was covered with daisies and dog roses.
Today the banks were covered with pink and white vetch and teasels.
There were the rich scents of mint too.

We paused at a second lake along the path.




























































The path climbed up through woods.






































































































Ashley played the piano for us in the church.
A precious moment!
He plays so well - with freedom and abandon, needing no music.
