Footbridge in sheep pasture I have lost the main footpath (which may well be dead) and scouting through sheep pastures I came across this, luckily, or that stream or ditch would have had to be forded, jumped or crossed by any means.

Empty old hay barns on a farm Now a family home rather than a farm I think.

Fence posts abandoned in a layby Just some of the fly tipping here today. There were 6 or 8 black bags, some split, seemingly containing old loft insulation, and these two concrete fence posts. Just what I need. Fly-tippers need to realise that there is a massive demand and market for things like this. They could probably ask £10 to £20 per fencepost on their local sellers page on Facebook, or Ebay, and have the cash in their hands within 48 hours possibly. I have sold what I considered absolute rubbish for cash - proving one man's trash is another man's treasure. Their loss. I am pretty sure that there is no demand for soggy ex-loft insulation. But I did ponder the logic of driving to this layby rather than the local recycling bins in Gnosall... costs surely can't be that prohibitive to dispose of such rubbish correctly, exempt from fines and associated risks.

Old oak tree at Woodhouse Farm I think this old oak tree feels the spring approaching...its aged boughs seem to stretch and revel in the warm sunshine after a frosty night...I wonder how many springs has it greeted like this?

Pair of swans on the moat at Woodhouse Farm These two lovelies were enjoying some peace until I stumbled past. The male checked me out, then with an almost audible snort he turned his back and paddled out after his preening wife. Good luck to them.

Road bridge over the old railway line near Gnosall The old track bed now carries a popular local walking and cycling path, the Way for the Millennium, and walkers seem to enjoy using it. I saw several couples out today. Great to see.

Footpath and cyclepath on the Way for the Millennium near Gnosall Great walking. Lots of nature, lots of sunshine. I feel good because I am on the final leg of my walk and I know navigational challenges are low to non-existent, fellow walkers are about, buzzards call, crows mob them and I can imagine this as a rail line. I can also look forward to a pub lunch, a half of beer and a chat maybe. But there are still interesting things to see and virgin turf to tread. All my needs seem to be met. Optimum happiness state attained.
