That was nice :)

What a lovely surprise to be invited to the Chair of the Council "Civic Service " to celebrate voluntary work in our community.
I took on voluntary role of Foot Path Warden 2 years ago after seeing the post advertised in our local press.Honey was a young dog with lots of energy so we were out on lots of daily walks any way and I thought why not make use of it and do some constructive routes, we both get so much out of it.We regularly walk Public Foot Paths and Bridleways and report back any problems such as broken stiles or hedges which need cutting back etc anything which obstructes the right of passage
In the last year I have devised some circular walks in our area incuding public footpaths and bridleways, with a lot of local interest and with the financial help of the local parish council I have put the walks into a folder and distrbuted them into 15 local pubs and cafes to give visitors to our village information and to encourage local residents to explore thier area.
It was lovely to have public recognition for my work which I have thoughly loved doing.
