Sunday 16th May - walk **** - The Grove Woods – a day of sun shine and
rain.
The unsettled weather continues with heavy rain followed by sunshine with
winds ranging from 5 to 20 knots with widely varying temperatures too. In
the morning with the rain at its worst and light winds I did my exercises
while Mag did some gardening in the dry spells! In the afternoon I was
briefly tempted to go foiling at Levington but the rain started again with
the wind all over the place so decided against it. Then just after tow the
sun actually came out so Mag and I decided on a walk, we didn’t want to
risk going too far so drove to the Grove car park so we could walk around
the beautiful woods:) It was lovely and quiet here but very muddy and you
had to be very careful not to slip over. We took some lesser used paths to
where Mag had seen a Muntjac deer and she ended up slipping over, getting
stung on her bum from nettles, I tried not to laugh too much! We came out
by the horse fields where we spotted the Muntjac running across in the open
with several foals watching:) Then we got an amazing view of a very noisy
Spotted woodpecker and I managed to get some great pics before we continued
on our usual route to the bottom of the wood now filled with strong
smelling garlic in full bloom along with bluebells, as pretty as a picture.
The crows were in full voice too and we saw a pair of jays too along with a
few squirrels, and hour or so very well spent:)Then home via the cliff top
and seafront to check out the sea, a quick walk to the end of our road to
release the snails and slugs Mag collected from her plant before a welcome
for cuppa and cake with the rain arriving again. Looks like little wind for
a few days but things are looking promising for the end of the week!
