View across a river to a marina. There are trees in.leaf on the far bank. The walls of a castle can be glimpsed through the trees.

White sheep and black lambs in a field.

View from above of a white swan on a nest. The nest is on a platform on a tidal river. The tide is out.

End wall of a large building. There is an adult elephant and a young elephant with made out of shells on the wall.

Another #UnconfinedWalks along the river today to the old zoo.

#UnconfinedWalks to Canterbury (train assisted, I admit) to see Kate and have lunch at Franc. Which is just as nice as various critics say, but also v pretty site overlooking private almshouses (overlooking from the bathroom bit, admittedly, promise I washed my hands first).

#UnconfinedWalks weather unparalleled

#UnconfinedWalks a late evening ride

View across fields on a sunny day. There is a tall, gothic style tower on the far side of the field.

Plaque set in stone marking the stop where 30 hop pickers drowned in the river Medway on 20 October 1853.

The gatehouse of a castle on a sunny day. There is a church in the background.

Today's #UnconfinedWalks didn't quite go according to plan. The bus terminating early meant readjusting plans. Still managed several enjoyable miles in the sun.

#UnconfinedWalks Finding beauty of spring in unexpected places.

#UnconfinedWalks the dogwoods are blooming

Looking down a grassy slope to lakes glinting in the sun. Blue sky above with a few white clouds and a low sun shining towards the camera

#UnconfinedWalks bright and breezy once again. Was OK in shorts and short-sleeved jersey though it was getting borderline as I headed home

Off out to Aunts. Bearing cheering stuffs. #UnconfinedWalks

#UnconfinedWalks sunshine and blooms!

Feet in brown boots on pathway

Shrubs with yellow-green leaves and small yellow flowers

Clump of bluebells

Muggy lunchtime trip over to mum. #UnconfinedWalks

I've asked about this yellowy stuff before. But it has not stuck.

#UnconfinedWalks Monday back on home turf. Tuesday failed to take any photos while joining in laps. Today, bright but blustery (and feeling a bit sore after the fast laps yesterday)

#UnconfinedWalks day 7, last meandering in Ravenna before catching train back to Bologna

#UnconfinedWalks day 7, Ravenna, House of the Stone Carpets

#UnconfinedWalks day 7, Ravenna mop up, Mausoleum of Theodoric

#UnconfinedWalks day 6 Ferrara, the castle and around

#UnconfinedWalks day 6 Ferrara, Palazzao Schifanoia, where the d’Estes tried to stave off boredom

#UnconfinedWalks day 6, Ferrara, around the former ghetto. Being a Saturday the synagogue wasn’t open. Ferrara has one of Italy’s oldest Jewish communities with the d’Este’s inviting some of those expelled from Spain to settle. The ghetto was enclosed under later papal rule

#UnconfinedWalks day 6, train to Ferrara, walk in from the station and around the duomo (under renovation)

Close up of large clusters of pink blossom on a branch.

Close up of blossom on this morning's #UnconfinedWalks.

#UnconfinedWalks Day 5, Rimini, Bridge of Tiberius

#UnconfinedWalks Day 5, Rimini, around Piazza Cavour

#UnconfinedWalks Day 5, Rimini, outside of the Tempio Malatesta (still in its lunchtime closure period so didn’t go in) and around the Piazza tre Martiri (named for three locals executed by the Germans during the Second World War)

#UnconfinedWalks day 5, as by now we knew our flight had been cancelled and we wouldn’t be going home until Sunday we took the train down to Rimini. Lunch by the Adriatic and then many Judas trees as we walked back to the Centro storico

#UnconfinedWalks day 4 addendum, traditional photo of outside of local archives

Pink cherry blossom against a grey sky

Road. With fallen blossom and some damp patches.

Lunchtime #UnconfinedWalks about 10 seconds before I got caught in a sharp shower and wished I'd spent less time faffing with the blossom. No my feet aren't in this, it is an entire fail.

#UnconfinedWalks Day 4 continued, the Diocesan Museum in the former cloisters of San Vitale (each cloister in Ravenna seemed to have its own blackbird). Bit of a whistle stop tour as it was late in the day and we had a restaurant booking at a restaurant opened in 1909 and still in same family

#UnconfinedWalks Day 4 continued, the Arian baptistery (the Ostrogoths largely followed Arianism, but tolerated Nicean Christians, but when Justinian ordered the suppression of heretical sects it led to war with Byzantium)
