I was ill and therefore stuck indoors for a very long time even before my current 'lockdown'. One of the things that kept my spirits up was looking at the wonderful photographs of my local town that people kindly posted.

So, I wondered if you would like to take us on a 'photo walk' of where you live? The photo's here have all been taken, not by me, but within easy walking distance of my home. (All taken during permitted exercise.)

1. My road
2. A walk above the town
3. A favourite view

Only spoilt if you let it. Step over and Keep posting your photos. IT'S 's a lovely idea. Some people cant' or wont go out so its nice to see the world even if it is from a photo

And there it is!!!!!!!!!! Somebody starts a lovely thread showcasing photos and one mean minded individual has to spoil it with a grammar lesson! How mean and pathetic can people get?!?!?!?!

Beautiful pics everyone. Keep posting them. So lovely to see. Unfortunately I can’t post pics as I’m in solitary confinement and not allowed to go walking

View from the back of our house.

I thought I'd walk the golf course round the corner and found it deserted so will make a nice detour there on my daily walk

My regular river walk.

Wow! You all live at some beautiful places and thank you for posting. On my next walk out I will take some photos and post them, if I can remember how to load them.

Nope... beyond my capabilities... I transferred to my ipad, chose a photo, clicked on Gransnet then there's the whole password palarvar and then the phone went and then I lost any motivation I ever had....
Sorry. It's a good idea.

Lovely Devon lanes full of spring colour & lams in the fields

We used to walk along this canal path but it is too narrow to use safely now.

Our High Street currently and how it should look for our Street Market in May but won't now.

Sunrise from my garden

I've just taken a friend in Australia on my morning walk, but I don't know if I can upload (download? acrossload?) photos on here... hang on....

I believe the much-debated apostrophe could be justified as part of the abbreviated word.
Tiny minds!!
The photo walk is a lovely idea and far more interesting than nit-picking!

Not my picture but this is where I walk my bagpipes every day

Three views within a mile and a half of our house, on our regular walking route (if we were allowed to walk!).
1. The lane at the side of the house, leading to
2. The Transpennine Trail.
3. Heading down into the Moss Valley

Thanks Beechnut I agree , it’s like I have a 2 acre garden now lol

Beechnut Tue 07-Apr-20 06:49:12

Lovely photos.

NanaandGrampy, taking down the fence has made a world of difference ?

Thank you for sharing, beautiful!

Lovely photographs. smile

Aerial view of my house, the lake just across the field where I am taking my daily, solitary walks and the view from the kitchen window across the field. I know I am very lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the country!

Please, no apostrophes in plurals!! My granddaughter mastered that literary skill in Reception Class.

quizqueen it was my apostrophe you referred to and you'll get no argument from me! grin I was dashing off my comment whilst trying to serve dinner and I wrote photos then I actually changed it to photo's thinking of it as a contraction of photographs. Duh!! confused

I am now suitably chastised and shamed. blush

Oh - and I may actually have been that reception class teacher! grin
