Our December stroll was around the outer path surrounding the lakes of Dinton Pastures. The day was rather dull but the three of us were pleased to be out in the fresh air. The paths around Dinton have improved over the years but one part can be muddy, however, in spite of recent rain it was not too bad. We observed the bird life, there were lots of swans, many from this year as they were not completely white. We stopped at the activity centre cafe where we viewed the lake while partaking of our refreshments.
