We walked through the wood to the end of our road and decided to go for a long walk along the river Stour. We usually turn right but today decided to take a left turn. It is obviously a little used footpath and in places difficult to walk along. Yes, we got lost and I am sure one of the fields at least was private property but Mal did his usual “I know exactly where I am going”. No he doesn’t! He had boots on and I had walking sandals and in places I was sinking into the marshes amidst the prickles and slugs!  Disgusting picking slugs off my feet. Ellie loved it even though half the time she couldn’t see where she was going as everything was way above her head.

Mal went off to the allotment and Ellie slept for a long while, it was a very long walk! Mal brought home, chard,broad beans, potatoes, gooseberries and raspberries. They taste so good.

Of course in the afternoon I watched Federer leave Wimbledon and then Andy Murray go through to the final.

Thought of the Day – “No matter what is going on in your life, look for something good to focus on. Even when you are tested, turn your attention to something you can be grateful for and this will start to shift your point of attraction.”
