Over the past few months, I have made a bigger effort to take regular morning walks, rain or shine (even though shine is much much better for obvious reasons). Because it is getting colder, I know that I will find myself wanting a few more minutes in my cocoon/warm duvet. But those walks get me all energised for the day and surely, I can keep the lazy lie ins for the weekend. So, I put on many layers of clothing and wrap myself in my new gigantic super fluffy and warm scarf et voilà! Ready to tackle the cold and head out for a refreshing walk.
The other thing that also makes me want to go out in the morning on that walk is the view. Kilkenny Castle Park is just so beautiful this time of year and I love the quietness of it early in the morning (well, it only opens at 9am this time of year so that's as early as it gets!). I always meet the same people: dog walkers, joggers, the eventual few visitors and other people having a nice calm walk with some music on, just like me.
I have become familiar with the different corners of the park but as the months pass by, nature keeps varying with colours changing, leaves falling, different time of seasonal plants and flowers growing. I even spotted some holly already packed with its red berries. I really hope we get some snow this Winter because I would love to see the park covered in white and hear the sound of crunchy snow under my boots.
Do you take walks during the week or at weekends? Where do they take you?
