Meriden- The centre of England

A damp autumnal walk, the leaves have turned in the last few weeks adding to the beauty of nature as we walked along lanes, across fields and through woodland.

As always it’s the things we find along the way that make our walks interesting. First we encountered some lively dogs. I was glad they were the other side of a fence as they did not seem to want us near them.

As we walked through the woods we came across a fine specimen of a fly agaric mushroom, bright red and must have had a diameter of 20cm.

The next discovery was a field of emus. We stood for a while as they chased each other around the field, they were fast!

All of these delights can be seen in the accompanying pictures.

After four and a half miles we found ourselves back at the Queens Head Meriden just in time for lunch.
