A good day for walkng, although the cold wind demanded only brief times when hands were exposed to the elements. There were also has brief spells of hail, so small it was rather difficult to establish that it was hail!
It was good to see Snowdrops out a Daffodils too, but will I be "free" in time to go on a "Bluebell Wood Walk"?
Plenty of people out, but I think lockdown must be getting to most of them, eyes down, no eye contact, few smiles and even fewer bothered to reply to a "good morning or hi".
However once on the Saltney side of the river all three people spoke and even smiled!
