Patrick tells us that he is the one who knows where he is going, and we get the hint.
Although it's a bit difficult to overtake here!
We do our best to skirt the worst of the quagmire
And escape into a green field
Although even there we can see mud
Back in the trees, we see plenty of laurel plants
Some recent gales have pruned branches
Up we go a bit further
And Patrick checks his flock
The weather improves as we cross the hilltop
Turned out nice again!
Are they checking the forecast? I doubt it.
This path is on a raised causeway
Out we go on to a quiet lane
The sun still shining
Past a barn conversion
And a route new even to Patrick and Angela
Much better under foot
Views to some interesting houses
Roadside signs of Spring
Down we go towards Cowley
And the Manor with its adjacent church
Past the former cricket ground, it would be hard to hit a four now.
And down and up back to a very good lunch at the Green Dragon
