I began walking along my customary pathway towards the church and the river. A fairly large flock of small birds were flying around the hedgerows as I made my way along the path. They were feeding on the autumn fruits growing in great profusion on the shrubs along the way.
  Two men walking two large Alsatian dogs arrived from a pathway near the church. One of the dogs was extremely friendly and accepted my strokes with a rapid shaking of its tail.
  I started to cross the road to get to the gate leading to the river when I noticed many small birds feeding on the hawthorn shrubs nearby. I photographed a robin and a chaffinch in and around a hawthorn hedge at the entrance.
  I walked towards the River Arrow, where I photographed a large willow tree growing on a bend on the edge of the riverbanks.
I shot a small video clip of the sound of the water flowing over some large stones in the river. The sound of water flowing is incredibly relaxing.
  I walked back along the way to the castle, where I met Margaret on the terrace.
Today, I walked for 2.91 miles in 1 hour and 5 minutes.
