As part of the new exercise regime I plan to walk 7
miles a week so today, while in Sedgefield for shopping (Bolams) and the
Library (no longer stuck on U – see 4/10), I walked to Hardwick Park and around
the Lake in cool, cloudy but windless weather and took enjoyment from the water
fowl on view: coots with their distinctive white foreheads, although they
seemed more determined to show their bottoms as they dabbled for food; mallards
with the glossy green necked males waddling after their plainer (to us)
potential mates; Canada or barnacle geese – the ones with the white chinstrap –
honking merrily; and two pristine white swans with a couple of downy cygnets; a
very pleasant 3 miles to put to the week’s total.
