Sunday

Good morning.  Yesterday was a jolly chilly day with a frost that lasted well into the morning and this morning looks like being the same as far as the frost is concerned.  I hope there's some sun as well; yesterday was a beautiful day.

After going on about it for a few days, I finally did get to Galleywood for my walk.  It was, unfortunately, very, very muddy so I stuck to the proper paths but it's rather lovely and will be beautiful in the summer when all the little pathways through the trees and on the grass are dry and negotiable again.  There's woodland and grassland, ponds and heathland and, while it's not huge, it's big enough for some good walks.
 I took some photos - here's just a few.

The church of St Michael and All Angels is on the common.  I had a walk around the outside but couldn't go in as it was locked.  I don't think there's really anything special about it in terms of architecture, windows, brasses, etc, but it looks like a busy and friendly church, serving the community.

On the way there I stopped off at Aldi and on the way back at Tesco so now I'm all set up for the coming week.

Today, I'm hoping to drive out to Writtle and have a stroll around what is a very pleasant village.  I've looked on the map and worked out a route that will take me around the outside roads of the village and a shorter on in case I don't feel like doing the longer one.
Apart from that, I have no real plans, I'll just take the day as it comes.

What are your plans for today?
