Busy most of the day, I managed to slip out late afternoon for a ride. It was glorious; Chasewater was busy, yet there were deer on the dam. The countryside was alive, and bursting into leaf and bloom everywhere I looked. Then I cycled down to Wall and got there just as the sun hit it’s final, golden hour. The atmosphere was magical.
A cracking ride on a lovely day. For more, do check out my 365daysofbiking journal.
Wall church itself is impressive and unusual in style
The Roman remains always look best on a sunny evening
They looked like yearlings to me. I see the moult has set in…
Such beautiful colours
The bluebells in Wall churchyard were gorgeous
Wall itself was as beautiful as ever
Thornyhurst Lane: only a few weeks ago this was impassible due to drifting snow
Chesterfield in the golden hour is always magical
That copper beech at Pipehill is gorgeous
Three red dear were browsing on the dam at Chasewater
Wall is very leafy
I loved the interplay of sun and shade
In the golden hour, the shadows were long and the air cool
Hammerwich from Newton, on the canal
The oilseed rape isn’t yet fully in bloom at Wall
