walk to work

It's National Walk to Work Week this week and given that the weather has properly perked up, there's now no excuse to drive in*.

Lucy T walks past 35 blossom trees on her way to work. Once a year, it actually rains blossom on her.

Alex W walks past these chocolate box houses on her way to and from work (and manages to get a nice view of the A4 en route too)

Papping a close up shot of a lesser spotted wild telly is worth double walking points.

However, if tandem is your thing, then why not take a leaf out of Mark and Joe's book?

Mark and Joe always walk to work together.

Mark leads the way

 

And Joe bobs along after him.

 
Apart from the days Joe rides his massive Dutch bike to work that is.

On those days, Mark's walk looks a bit like this

 

You always spot more stuff when you walk to work.

Like the lady I saw today, walking with a Black and Decker cordless drill in one hand and a bunch of daffs in another. She may or may not have been going to work. But she was definitely walking with a purpose.

Let us know the most interesting thing you've passed or seen on your way to work this week and the best answer will win a boxful of smoothies.

*unless you happen to live in Winchester like Heather. In which case, it'd probably take the best part of a week to walk in.

This is probably the nicest thing I've seen on the way to work:

But, living in Bristol there's always new interesting graffiti on the way in - not just Banksy!

My walk to work is along a lovely country track. Once I saw a little rabbit right by the side of the path:

I see some knitted 'grafitti'! On a park fence by the road, there is a lovely knitted purple caterpillar like chain. I think I first saw this type of street art via innocent! Cool Glasgow!
