Sunday morning walk.

Looks like you had a very energetic wander, Meadow. It looks inviting. It's always good to see new trees being planted, too. A walk definitely benefits from a beverage and buns! Lovely to meet you both. The advent lights have started to go up in our neighbours' hedges. Reminds us not long to go to Christmas.

that looks wonderful Meadow.
I hope you were kissing as the gorse is in flower, so it means kissing is allowed! [an oldwives tale that I have know for years]

Not long now. Had a Xmas craft stall today and sold a few things.

A lovely blog and photo's Julia,and I enjoyed the walk with you ,and lovely to meet you both :o) Cold water swimming is not something I would ever contemplate,as the Cafe is much more my style.:o) It all looks very well maintained,and interesting..thank you for sharing . Our two Grandsons have been decorating the tree this afternoon,after going an a 'Dachshund walk ' around a Country park this morning,with theirs,and lots of others,so they were lucky enough to drive home just before the snow arrived at lunchtime.:o(

Oh how lovely to "see" you both! You are so lucky to have these walks around you! You must have had much better weather than us as we had a thick frost yesterday morning and sprinklings of snow.
The cafe looks very inviting after your walk.

Thank you,Ang,Eileen,Sandra and Rose....We are a little addicted to finishing our days out with a coffeeIt's a matter of finding the warmest in this cold spell.
Eileen, I've learnt something new....no I didn't know you had to kiss when the gorse flowers are out...Will try that next time!!!

Such a lovely walk that you went on and to end up at the very attractive cafe is just what you needed! The cakes look delicious!

Lovely joining you on your walk Julia! I do love winter gorse, so bright and cheerful.
Coffee and cake in a pretty cafe, perfect and so good to see you both..:))
Wishing you both a really Happy Xmas I hope you get lots of gardening gifts..x

Thank you Chris and Janey.x

Interesting walk, is that the Severn in the background of one photo ?
and nice you have a coffee shop along they way :)

Thanks for the season's greetings ... Have a lovely time over Christmas :)

Yes,Hywel, that is the River Severn....thank you for your season's greetings.

You live in a super area. Thank you for sharing your walk. It's all my sort of place. Have a happy Christmas when it arrives :-)

Thank you FF...so pleased you enjoyed the blog.Happy Christmas to you:-)

Fabulous walk, Julia! Lots of fresh air, scenery and interest too! Healthy exercise too - I feel a little more energised reading your blog and enjoying the photos too!
You are both looking well and obviously benefited from your outing.
Lovely to be able to relax with a coffee afterwards.
Ps. I noted the ‘dog ice cream’ advertised! Bet it’s a favourite for the dog walkers in summertime! 😊

Meadowland - I don't think kissing is actually compulsory - they used to tell me that it was "out of season when the gorse is out of bloom" - and as you can usually find one or two flowers even in the middle of winter there's no need to worry! It was nice to see photos of you and your OH. But even if there aren't any coffee is never out of season...

Stera,I'll take that advice on board!...Have to think of the passing walkers!!!
Coffee is certainly a regular here(on our walks) although we never drink it at home.
