I think this day could be called genuinely spring-like. There were daffodils in flower and people BMX 'ing in T-shirts outside Salisbury College.
I walked 15 miled carrying 11.5 kg over muddy terrain, following the old railway route south from home to Downton, and then heading north along the Avon Valley Path through Odstock to Salisbury. After a quick visit to the new Lidls next to Tesco (to look for couscous and plastic-wrapped fish), I walked the last few miles home - somewhat more burdened in weight - and got home exactly 6 hours after I left. I hadn't found the fish but a very cheap pedometer which I would use at work, and someequally good value cousous.
At Tescos I found the fish I wanted, and we had it for supper with the cousous and asparagus. Absolutely delicious! So I know what I will be having for my suppers on the CWT, and will attach a photo.
When I got home Andrew was still doing DIY and working out how to plumb in the new bath. That meant no bath or shower, so I practised for the CWT and had a wash in a nearby stream..... Only joking, I used the sink and that was fine.
It was a lovely day out with stunning weather and real growth. Hedges and verges were green, and the birds were singing.
