We've certainly had above average good weather for the time of year this April and it gave me the incentive to go out walking again. We have some pleasant places where we can walk and the local 100 acres of heather, oak, silver birch, bracken and grassland that makes up the local Common is one of them. It's a nature reserve managed by the Parks, Woodland and Ranger Service of Sheffield City Council together with volunteers and in consultation with local ecologists. It's also a walk uphill through some streets lined with apple and ornamental cherry trees that look beautiful when the blossom is out and attractive in the Autumn as the leaves colour up. Some new trees have also been planted on the grass verges and there are many mature trees to be seen along the way.

Along the path is one of the entrances to the Common and next time I will show you where I walked on the Common.
Have a good day!
