We were forecast heavy rain and thunderstorms all day today, but by lunchtime there was still no sign of them, and they had vanished from the forecast . . . so I went for a walk, with a camera in my pocket - and, yes, of course: when I was half an hour from home, the heavens opened. So, poor light, raindrops on the lens . . .
The path is a decommissioned and revamped railway line, now a Sustrans route. But signs of its previous existence persist, not only in the style of the old bridges, but also in the presence of an old, left-over gradient sign, previously trackside, now half buried in the wild vegetation. I have walked this path many, many times over the decades, but have never before noticed it.
The verges are a nature reserve, mostly left to manage themselves. Nature is looking autumnal already - seeds forming, leaves turning, autumn flowers in bloom.
