The beautiful crystal clear water of the beck flows out of the mere in Nafferton to the old mill at Wansford. We walked along its bank to snakeholme nature reserve. The orchids were just pushing through the undergrowth. There was a heron and two egrets at the reserve.
The sun shone. It was warm. It felt like a spring day!!
It reconnects us to nature. And nature has come alive during this pandemic!
It was a magnificent Spring day in Yorkshire. The sky was deep azure blue. The sun shone. There was a little chill in the air.
I like rocks.
Today’s walk started in the village. We were heading out for a long walk down the back lane to Lowthorpe – about 8 miles.
We were soon out of the village and on a trail across the fields.
It took us down a little path the May blossom was beautiful and formed an arch over our heads so that we appeared to be walking through a tunnel of white blossom.
We crossed the railway and along the lane.
Then we were on the low road to Lowthorpe. There were no cars or walkers – just the odd cyclist.
I was taken with the patterns in the fields created by the drilling. The crops were just beginning to show.
The trees were still dressed in their winter skeletons – just about to burst forth.
Some trees were adorned in their bright green – looking fresh and new.
Past the brooks and old farm houses.
A tent for visitors to stay in while cycling the Yorkshire Way.
An idyllic allotment in the middle of nowhere – a place to escape to and soak up time.
Fields of bright yellow rape with an old farmhouse and tree that have seen much history pass before them – back to the days of horses and carts.
Into Lowthorpe.
Off back down the track towards Nafferton.
There’s the church again in the distance!
