A small town called Chieveley - Autumn walking

Chieveley, Newbury. My smallest town so far. A newsagent with a post office counter, a pub, and a church. And miles and miles of beautiful farmland, made for walking.
I was averaging 5 - 10km a day here. What is that in miles?
May I present Chieveley in October:
A rose outside my bedroom window.
My first view of every day.

The first of hundreds of pics taken while walking.
I love paths that disappear into the distance,
 reflected in the clouds.

How NOT to shoot a delicious mixed seafood platter.
Battered fish taking on a new meaning.
Lunch for two at The Crab

I nearly turned back here. This was pre-boot days.


Never know what is around the corner.
In this case, a bridge over a busy road!

Gravestones in Autumn

Never know who you will meet when walking
in the country

Colourful birdlife outside the kitchen window

The beginning of another long walk

Pathways...

Go round yet another corner, and find eggs for sale,
and some llamas!


Bridge - fields behind me, woods ahead.

The gate at the end of the bridge

Through the gate, and into a magical fairy land


Friendly little robin came to say hi to me.

One of the walking trails I found after crossing a field
