Last weekend, I went for a lovely walk with friends along the Odiham Canal. We started at the Odiham Boat House and followed the peaceful canal path toward the old Odiham Castle. We stopped there for a while to admire the ruins and think about its history.
As we walked on toward Greywell Village, we saw beautiful wildflowers and open fields all around us. The soft sounds of nature and the gentle movement of the reeds made the walk very relaxing.
The best part of the day was seeing a swan with its baby cygnets. It was a sweet and special moment that made our walk even more memorable.
