A favourite short tour.

A beau­ti­ful sunny but not too hot June after­noon — Mil­lenium Bridge, Walmg­ate Stray, Uni­ver­sity, Hes­ling­ton Long Lane, Gyp­sey Corner, Bridle Paths to Scoreby, tea and lemon meringue pie at the Bal­lon Tree(and asparagus to take home), Gate Helms­ley, War­t­hill, Stock­ton on the Forest, Deans Garden Centre for the ill-fated fish (see today’s other post) and home via Stock­ton Lane.  Flowers and leaves at their most vivid, lots of glossy brown cows, mer­ci­ful absence of oil seed rape.  Almost all of this on bri­dle­ways and quiet lanes — could have increased that but for the fish.
