A hearty breakfast and a brisk walk- the best way to start the day! I'm just back from taking wee S down to his school. The weather is good, a bit cooler now but it was nice to hear the birdsong. So now l'm in fine fettle and plan to get caught up with a bit of house tidying; well that's the plan anyway.
Yesterday l went swimming and did 30 laps- when l got out of the pool my legs felt like jelly and l needed a quick pick-me-up (almost off the floor!), so l headed up the road for a cup of tea with some much needed sugar.
The slideshow below is of my morning walk to S's school and back. The garden area in front of the large church is known locally as 'Hangman's hill', named for obvious reasons. I use the walk home to give myself a quick paced workout- uphill most of the way! The church is undergoing some structural work at the moment as you can see with the scaffolding. That's my lovely daughter 'M' wearing the green T-shirt- she was just saying 'Cheerio' to her pals down the town as l walked by.
Ok, one more cup of tea and then l'll get something done.

A wonderful way to start the day..porridge and a brisk walk. I hope S is enjoying school :)
Ah swimming...my favourite sport...but there are very few places close by here to swim and I haven't done it in years, sad to say.
I watched your lovely slide shows last night but couldn't keep my eyes open, so decided to wait until I was fresh this morning to comment. Your area is very beautiful. My hubby visited before me and said, "You must go and see Horizon's slide show!" Your pictures are wonderful!! Thanks for taking time to share it with us :) xoxox
Hi Horizon, Lovely pics of your walk to start the day. Oh 30 laps I would be lucky to get to 1 lol. Im exhauster pass the oxygen please....
Hi Sarah ~~ Loved the slide show and
it looks like a great area. I loved the two hanging baskets on the pole.
And Young S looks good going to school, I think he is still on half days is he? Thanks for your comments about my camelias. I can't believe you swam so many laps !!
Take care, my friend, Love, Merle.
I'd still be lying down on the floor after that many laps! lol Hello dear Horizon:-) Finally taking some time to catch up with a few blogs...always a pleasure to come visit you!! I so enjoyed the walk with you and Sam...you have such beautiful buildings over there, love the architecture of the church! I remember as a child, mom would always make us porridge before we went to school...I haven't had any in years now!! Take care my friend! xoxo
I love being able to walk along this nice scenery you show! I bet you have had very good workouts with those walking and swimming..Now I think I should start learning how to swim..
good way of starting the day, are you milk/sweetner or water/salt?
You'd have to carry me out if I did 30 laps! I admire your swimming skills! Glad S is doing well, and have enjoyed all your marvelous pictures..
xoxo
I really liked the "walk-through" of your town! That church is so large - must be such a major project...and loved that old tree, too. Your little S is cute. I always wonder if porridge is like cream-of-wheat, which is what I like to eat. I'll have to go look it up!

You go girl.......the walking and swimming will give you the spirt that you need............and thankyou for the walk through the lens of your camera. Sam is just to cute.....
Lovely to share the walk with you - a little bit like Elgin or a small village on the Moray Firth coast there called Hopeman (best icecream in the world!)
How lovely it is to see hills from the town - and the sea of course!
Hiya, I for one love my porridge every morning winter or summer. Loved the slide show. I am glad to be able to blog again now my computer is behaving itself.
Cheers Margaret
Is porridge the same as oatmeal?..I just don't know.
I'm a brown sugar and cinnamon kinda guy.
How invigorating it must be to walk through that pleasant place after a great workout!
