Despite living in my present home for many years ...... I've still managed to find so many new places to walk since I took up the hobby, for my health, a little over a year ago! With a lot of building going on around here in the last couple of years, I finally decided to try a new footpath which I have walked past a number of times without ever trying ... come with me, if you have a moment.
