On our first full day in Thornhill together, Bob and I decided to walk an old walking route that we would do with Bruce (prior Border Terrier who we had sat for here) and then stop in town to poke through some shops. The house has a side gate that opens up into a wooded area with paths. We started through the woods until the path curved and empties onto a road. It’s a fairly busy road, but it has a wide berm, and we aren’t on it long before we turn off onto a quieter, country lane.
We walked to the end of the lane where it curves to the right, but we instead turn left and follow a long gravel road past a cottage and then onto a path through the Thornhill golf course.
We walked all the way through the golf course until we hit a main road that takes you either back into town or out of town. We turned left and headed back towards town. Before getting to the main shopping district, we stopped into the cemetery.
Even on an overcast day, this area is lovely!
Once in the town center, we ended up stopping into the Boots pharmacy, two gift stores, a bakery, and the two small groceries. We didn’t shop at all of them, but we got reacquainted with what everyone has and did pick up a couple of items for our dinner tonight.
Last night, the news was awhirl with talk about Boris Johnson possibly having to resign, as two of his cabinet members resigned as a sign of no confidence in his leadership. We’ll see, as he seems to have weathered a number of other scandals already.
