The Morning Walk

In our Village of Donington on Bain, we are very lucky to have a number of Walks that you can access from our garden gate.

Our garden gate opens out directly onto the Viking Way footpath.

My favourite is a short walk up along the field hedgerows and then back into the Village. It is a 20 minute walk at best but somehow it always takes longer.

Walk along the short stretch of the Viking Way and take in the beautiful hedgerows and birdsong!

Could it be something to do with stopping to listen to the birdsong: yellowhammers, skylarks, chiffchaffs and the occasional bird of prey? Or perhaps stop and gaze at the profusion of poppies that definitely weren’t there last week?

Poppies sprung up in the fields!

Or maybe it’s the fact that back in the Village, you always bump into someone and have a chat? or stop and buy something from our two shops and stalls?

Then it’s back home for a well earned coffee in the garden!
