The next time I did my permitted walk, using the same route as previously, I was challenged by Susanpoozan’s comment on my last post to look for other views. Not difficult in fact – I just had to look to my left on the homeward walk, rather than to the right! Nothing spectacular like Glastonbury Tor to see, but some very agreeable sights, nevertheless.
First, a look along the busy road marking the turn-round point, in the other direction.

That is one open day that will not be happening.
On my way back, the first thing of note that I saw on my left were these splendid gates, the main vehicle entrance to the school.
They were firmly shut, as sadly were these:
As I passed, I turned my camera right, to see what those ‘lonely’ horses were up to. I could only see three of them.
Opposite, to my left was the way in to the equestrian centre. I must see if I can explore it one of these days…
In my view, the best way to deal with garden dandelions is to leave them flowering – when they provide nectar for insects – but pick the heads off before they run to seed.

It is good to see a blackthorn in full flower. I always think that they mean that spring is really here.

Plenty of interest to see on your walk. I liked the detail of the blackthorn .
The dandelion looks fine, but I have rather too many in my garden.
