It has been uplifting to see some sunshine and blue skies in the last few days so off we went to the nearby Damflask Reservoir for a short walk at the Loxley Valley end where the water outlet flows into a stream and then the river.

Across the other side of the bridge the water flows into a channel that drops down the hill into the River Loxley.
From a lane in Loxley Valley you can see the sharp drop of the stepped water channel.

| Daffodils were in full bloom on this sheltered bank - the bright yellow could be seen from several viewing points across the fields. |
Back over the bridge we walked up the hill passing two farmsteads before returning to the main road. (Across the road is one of our local nursery/garden centres). Still thinking of those still caught up in the flooding situation and extreme weather conditions.
A happy St. David's Day to all my friends from Wales and those with Welsh connections!
