As a discipline we must get out and about. This is a simple walk up a lane, through some fields and back home with a good appetite for lunch. About a couple of miles, a windless day alas with no sun but soothing to the spirit never-the-less.

Back to nature on the Somerset Levels
We never tire of walking in these ancient places. Due to the lockdown we had not been for some months so on this lovely day, off we went. We set our GPS to the Sweet's Tearooms beloved of cyclists.
