Walking By the Lake

Such a good day for a walk here in my favourite countryside many times walked this pathway blessed memories in my mind confined All set with a rucksack on my back walking boots fitting my size eleven scarf and gloves at the ready if cold this scenery is earth's pic of heaven Now walking along the water's edge so stony in parts, watch my step there's a toilet at the hotel nearby before going on in between the hedge Halfway walk across the boardwalk with a couple of bridges along the way the scenery is truly spectacular one wants this forever and a day Now stepping out homeward bound with a few hills and bumps to cross but gazing over the water to the other side so still makes one ponder to hear a sound Well passing by the boatyard maker now walking on flat land, feet so sore glad to reach back into the town square make tracks soon be at my own front door! ( Just bringing back memories of one of my favorite walks in the English Lake District along Derwent Water near Keswick.)

Beautiful and wonderful world of yester years. Beautiful nature is breathing in your poem with tinkling memories of James Hilton's novel Mr Chips...
