It's been sunny and summery the last few days (not to last, the weather is due to change tomorrow), so I went out for a walk at lunch with one of my workmates. My work is out in the burbs and nextdoor to a local University (there are a few around). Walker has been working here for a while and also used to live near here and normally goes for a lunchtime walk a couple of times a week. He has a walk buddy in our maintenance man. Maintenance man is currently on leave, so I got to go! ;)
We did the "short" circuit (about 40min) going out work, down the side of the Uni to the river and walking through some public/ county land. It was lovely. There were trees around the river too, so it was cool. We saw trout in the river and several types of bird (robin, magpie, blackbird, pigeon, crow, mallard duck with ducklings) too. We walked by a couple of old bridges and a stone bench that had been there from when the "estate" had belonged to a private owner. A "fairly long time", which is probably over 100yrs anyway?
We saw other people out on lunch time jaunts too, but not many students. I suspect that most of them don't even realise that there is this nice little place behind their Uni (it isn't on the way to anywhere).
Anyhoo, I hope the weather stays nice and that Walker takes me along again. Although now I know, I'm tempted to take my packed lunch with me and munch it on that stone bench in the woods ;)
