Just over a week ago D and I decided on a canal walk - we weren't sure where but I decided to head towards South Warwickshire and the Lapworth area and we ended up at the Stratford upon Avon canal at Lowsonford where we have walked before.
We parked by a buttercup field.
We went on a Friday afternoon and it was much quieter than it is at weekends!
There were lots of buttercups, plus yellow flag, red campion, hogweed, speedwell and cow parsley along the side of the tow path.
Before leaving I drove through the village of Lowsonford to look for the church. An interesting looking footpath there!
The church of St Luke, Lowsonford. I didn't have time to go in the churchyard unfortunately. I also rediscovered another pub we used to visit - The Fleur de Lys and on the road to Rowington was a pub Dad and Mum used to visit - the Tom o' the Wood.
A few of D's photos from the walk
We didn't see any butterflies, damsel or dragonflies and again bee numbers were low but D did manage to photo this Nettle Tap moth (thanks to Dean and Amanda on twitter for confirming my id).
D and E have been baking together again. They used the recipe and contents of another Great British Bake Off Box to make mini banana loaves!
I hope everyone is staying safe and well.
