Contentment

Just a brief post to say that this morning I went on a five mile walk with my elder son. He is nearly eleven, and has been asking me to take him on a decent walk for some time. Having seen how he easily coped on the Panorama Walk on holiday, decided that we would try the circular walk from Crickley Hill that takes in a circuit through the countryside around Birdlip. He managed easily, and we are now planning on doing the eight mile Leckhampton walk in half term. I really enjoyed having company for a change on a walk, and had a great time. Even crossing the main road to Swindon twice was fun! Contentment is appreciating both family and the beauty of creation.
