A pleasure to be able to serve up another set of weekly walking photos, after nearly a year resting my naughty ankle. And even more of a pleasure to walk in shirtsleeves (but not yet shorts) on a warm sunny day.
Still some flooding at the Compton Sewage Works, but the Willow was gorgeous and the pony reflective.
Climbing up the path from Compton with views to the south (ish), towards near Hampstead Norreys maybe, we spied a railway bridge – on the old Didcot, Newbury, Southampton Railway.
We took a different route into Aldworth, with a different view of St. Mary’s, albeit with lots of telegraph poles and wires.
In the churchyard
I think this is the first time I’ve been in the church, with its “Aldworth Giants” – effigies to the De La Beche family. More about them another time.
I liked the roof
After the Bell, in Bower Farm, the cows were all couped up, and dressed up as if for some masked ball. Strange face painting, and shiny patterns on their haunches.
The sun’s angle highlighted the terraces of Streatley Warren
And, returning to Compton, one path, which we did not take, still hadn’t rid itself of all the winter’s rain.
