Weekend

We avoided the shops as much as possible this weekend and instead got out for a couple of walks. Yesterday we took a trip to the local bird sanctuary. They have some rescue birds and some wild birds. We fed the swans and ducks (the place sells corn) and then took a walk around the lake.

We had time after that to take another quick walk at a nearby park before I had to Skype Mum.

Today we got up early and were out at the lake bright and early. It was already quite busy despite being cold. They have cancelled church services in a lot of places and it seems as though everybody was outside instead! There were lots of people out fishing. The car park at one park was packed full of cars with trailers that had pulled boats!  I suppose it was because it was a lovely sunny day so people were taking advantage.

We took a lovely walk along a trail called The Lost Lake trail. We've done this one before but we did it the opposite way this time as there is a part that is quite wet and marshy and as the water levels are so high we wanted to make sure it was accessible. It was quite wet but there were board and thick tree branches across the worst parts. We made it to the lake and the water was so high it had covered most of the trail on one side! We did manage to make our way around the other side to the path we needed to go on. Phew!

I hope everyone had a good weekend!
