It’s Sunday! Time for a quick Sunday Sevens!
Cinema:
It’s been some time since we’ve been to the cinema. To see the last installment of the How to Train your Dragon trilogy, David and I visited the newly opened Cineworld in Speke. The film was a fitting finale to the trilogy and I’m not ashamed to admit that I shed a tear or too.
Family walks:
Last Sunday we took a four mile walk around Mere Sands Wood nature reserve. Unfortunately the rain put a dampner on any nature sightings but we enjoyed the rain sodden walk anyhow!
This Sunday, with the weather no better, we headed towards Liverpool’s Calderstones Park.
#walk1000miles:
Even though David and I have had a few days off work this week, even taking in a two mile walk around The Countess of Chester Country Park. Longer days in work has meant that my miles this week has been down on previous weeks.

My total for this week is 38, bringing my overall total to 435 miles. If you are participating in the challenge, how are you doing?
RSPB Membership:
On Monday, David and I visited RSPB Leighton Moss, near Morecambe. We spent a leisurely four hours walking the paths and taking lunch with hungry robins, tits and pheasants. Among the highlights of the visit was hand feeding a great tit and robin and seeing a marsh harrier hunting. Have you visited this reserve? What were your impressions?
Anniversary:
Monday was also our 13th year anniversary!
Book I’m reading:
I’ve picked up The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris. I’ll let you know what I think of it! Have you read it? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
The Aviary:
On Wednesday David and I said goodbye to Pie our Cut-throat finch. He was five years old and hadn’t shown any signs of illness. It was a shock and a sad loss.

This Saturday David and I attended an eclectic concert at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, featuring music from Vaughn-Williams, Tchaikovsky and Villa-Lobos. I enjoyed it very much!
So, that was my week, how was yours?

Congratulations on your anniversary. I was sorry to read about your finch, surely that must be a good age for one? I “enjoyed” the book you are reading, although it has a harrowing story to tell. It’s ages since I have been to the cinema or even the theatre. I am ashamed of myself.

Sorry to hear about Pie. Apart from his sad demise it looks like you have had a good week. I love those scarlet elf caps you saw at Leighton Moss. You have taken some lovely pics there. I have never had a bird feed from my hand. I need to add up my miles. I’m way behind you I think. Though did do 12 miles on Sat. Luckily it fined up in the Lakes that day, or it would have been a wash out. X
