Olivia briefs us on our quite hilly walk
And we set off through Painswick
For sale, anyone fancy it?
Handy for the parish church
We pass the Quaker meeting house
And after a while
See the old Quaker burial ground in the countryside
We head along Longridge
With heather blooming
Briefly joining the Wysis Way
An amazing sight
Like cogs on a wheel
Like Brian's hat!
We shoo the cattle off the path
And then wade through the mud they have churned up
We reach Olivers where the water is cascading into the ruin
The mill pond up above
Steeply up we climb
With a view to Damsells Farm
Plenty of mistletoe
We descend towards Paradise
The deer leave us to it
Further down
Then up steeply through Paradise
Passing an area of smaller wild daffodils
And into the lane over a stile
Quite by chance we meet Christine and Brian (our former chair)
An interesting garden
And another
We pass three locals
Before crossing the A46 and climbing on to the golf course
Then returning to the cars
