Yesterday afternoon I was convinced that I would have a short easy walk, just to get out of the house. In reality I walked from Nyon to Bonmont and back along roads, but also farm paths. I walked this route because I decided that going for a walk would keep me cooler than if I stayed in my apartment.<\/p>\n

At first it was going to be a short loop, but eventually I thought “If I walk slowly it doesn’t matter how long I walk for so I modified my course and walked towards Cheserex. I was going to check the lending library in Cheserex but someone was sitting there so I walked by the swimming pool and then up towards Bonmon and across. The grass cutters were out. With so much rain this summer grass is growing fantastically well.<\/p>\n

To give you an idea of how well grass is growing, when I walked down from Bonmont I was struck by how many bales of hay I could see. Every field had twenty or more bales of hay. Cattle will have plenty of food this winter.<\/p>\n

The other thing that struck me is that I have seen so much wildlife. Thursday I saw a rabbit during a bike ride. Saturday I saw a couple of deer running above Vallorbe, and then yesterday I saw two more deer. I also saw a large murder of crows above Vallorbe near Juraparc. Nature really is thriving, thanks to this wet and rainy summer.<\/p>\n

By the end of this walk I could feel that I have had three big days of cycling and walking, and that I should rest today, to avoid injury.<\/p>\n

Although yesterday was a long walk, it was a simple walk. It was over flat, even surfaces with a gradual gradiant so my knees didn’t have to work as they did on two previous walks. I still felt fatigue in my feet and shins. If I rest today I will be fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
