Hello and welcome back to my blog 😊.

This morning myself and Mick did a 9 mile walk in the ground’s of the National Trust property Belton House. It was a frosty but sunny day with no wind – just perfect!

It was a real pleasure being out today and not have to battle the elements. There was plenty of evidence of the recent rain with the river Witham overflowing its banks and boggy fields.

Walking through the grounds we saw the Deer getting on with their day.

Everywhere was covered in a crisp coating of frost which when combined with the sun was just lovely.

At a suitable vantage point we stopped for a cuppa and took in the views.

We did a couple of circuits of the grounds and then popped in to the gardens to look at the exhibits for the light show that is running in the evenings at the House.

We both enjoyed the walk and appreciated the beautiful weather.😎

An update on my 2,000 mile challenge – I now have only 52 miles left to walk, before the end of the year, to meet this challenge!
