Wiltshire Wanderings...

The weather forecast for this weekend was for a superbly sunny Saturday followed by a dankly miserable rainy Sunday.  So the mission for the day was to meet up with friends and persuade four children that they wanted to spend the afternoon outside in the real world rather than on-line in a virtual minefield.

I wasn't the only one who felt the need to take maximum advantage of the sunshine...

 




The sunshine and the greenery of Wiltshire beckoned...

 

We hadn't gone far when we found the ridge of an old Fort to ramble over...

We weren't the only ones out enjoying the sunshine, we shared the path with horses and even adopted a Labrador briefly...

 

The hedgerows were stunning...



And if you wander far enough...

 




And if you look hard enough ...

 




You will find treasure!


So then it was all hands on deck to gather the bounty...



And thank heavens for 'im indoors' shoulders - they came in handy for reaching the best berries...

 

And when we'd gathered all the juicy blackberries we could find we strolled home the long way...


Lusting after houses we might treat ourselves to if the right numbers ever come up on the national lottery...

 

And dreaming of just how many more berries there might be next week of only the sun would shine long enough to ripen them...
