This morning I went briefly to the studio and then helped Sandra at the shop for an hour or so. She had a table ready for me to paint a lighter colour. Came back home in time to take in a delivery for Darren. I did take a walk this afternoon, not a long one but a different route to any I have walked before. I took a picture of the ladybird poppy on my way out, it is beautiful and has lots of buds as well.

I set off via the park on my walk, and after passing the open air theatre I noticed a path going up between the trees. A pretty walk heading up but fairly steep.

A view as I was getting higher.

Almost level with the castle at the top.

I tried hard to get a seagull in the shot!

Getting ready to head down on a different path.

Came down these...

......and met this!

Took a detour behind the beach chalets.....

......and met this!

Clambered round the side of this one and it had a notice on the other side saying 'Footpath Closed', but there were absolutely no signs at the top! A short but eventful walk on a lovely day.
