Another gorgeous day – perfect for a walk. But after such a
long day yesterday I decided I should have an easier one today. I had spotted
that the Food Hub was arranging a self-guided “Walk against waste” in
Shrewsbury so decided to give it a go.
I didn’t need a map of course, these were routes and paths I
have walked many, many times before but I was very happy to be supporting the
Food Hub and the route they planned was pretty.
I have lived in Shrewsbury for more than half my life and I
love it! It is such a beautiful town that people come here on holiday and decide
to come back to live here so I am very lucky to call it home. But I don’t often
take time to appreciate it, dashing as I do, between errands or shopping. But
today I had the time to wander at will and take it all in, reliving a few memories:
the swimming pool where I learned to swim; the library where I had my first
holiday job (and decided that I didn’t want to be a librarian after all); the
Castle where I got married and the Lion Hotel where we had our Reception. It
really was the most self-indulgent morning for a long time.
Art has started to spring up all over the place so I went “off-piste”
for a while to take a few photos and ended up walking nearer 8kms than 6. But so worth it.
