A walk on the heath

As is usual in England, at this time of year it was another rainy day today so there was not much to do outside and we had to venture out in between rain showers for a walk and to blow the cob webs away at a place called Lindow Common, which is only a 15 minute drive away and I have never been there in all my 39 years so it was somewhere new for me as well.

We had three options really because of the weather we could of stayed indoors, gone shopping or explored the outdoors and we decided to venture out as we only had a hour anyway as Mrs Stu had to finish school work because for some obscure reason she wanted to go and see Girls Aloud, pretty to look at but not really my kind of scene.

This is where we ended up, land mostly not yet destroyed by human hand.



Little G and The Terror enjoyed a good walk around and an explore of the surrounding woods and every possible puddle was splashed in to find treasure, as that is where the pirates buried it according to The Terror!



At the centre of the heath land is a lake or to must a big pond called Black Lake. It was good for a little walk and an explore anyway.



Hope you all had a fun weekend.

  1. Looks beautiful; I really love England, you have the most gorgeous countryside, slightly ahead of Provence, France and Tuscany, Italy.

  2. Your weekend looked better than mine. I was stupid enough to brave the Debenhams Sale in the Trafford Centre to get some cut price Denby plates.

  3. I've not been to any of them so I can't really comment, but we do have a lot of really beautiful places.

  6. Pretty place, Stu. Looks like there's a house right by that pond. Now that'd be a great weekend spot.

    You mean the Pirates of Cheshire never buried treasure in Lindow Common? Darn it, anyway!

  7. Great looking spot.

    The best thing I did when in Solihull was jump on a pushbike and ride for about 40kms though the countryside. Some amazing little places tucked away.

  8. The only actual English countryside I got to see while over there last year was the wilderness growing in the infield at Brands Hatch!

    Still, that was my kinda nature trip. Birds, trees, all that lovely forest ambience - while surrounded by Superbikes howling around the place doing 180mph and Carlsberg on tap.
