When I woke up this morning and saw the gorgeous blue skies, I knew that a bit of fresh air and exercise would help to assuage my guilt at all the naughty things I have eaten recently! So the only question was where to go.
Fortunately, my lovely friend Kerry had the situation firmly in hand, and had planned a whole day of excitement starting with a stroll along the bluebell walk and farm trail, lunch at a fabulous country pub and then a visit to the unusual church at Berwick.
The bluebell walk is only open for a few weeks each year, obviously when the bluebells are out, so we were very lucky really that the spring has been quite late this year because otherwise we would have missed them.
Entry is £4 which all goes to charity, and included in that are all sorts of extras such as a small petting zoo, farmers market stall, book stall, plants for sale and even a café selling homemade scrummy cakes and lunches.
The trails cover several different routes that can be done individually or joined together to make a huge trail even passing through the working area of the farm. They have a herd of Fresian dairy cows that are absolutely HUGE but I wasn’t quite so scared of them as I am of the Corsican cows as they don’t have horns. Phew!
There are also areas of wild garlic that smelt divine, so it was lucky we were almost at the end of the trail as our thoughts were turning to a yum pub lunch. I’m not sure that we managed to work off as much as we ate to reward ourselves afterwards, but who cares!
