First signs of autumn

Between gardening,  reading, crafting and going out for a walk, life carries on as normal. I've established a new routine and it appears to suit me.
Sunday I decided to go for a walk in Kings Hill. It's a really nice area with wide open boulevards, trees and cycle paths.
Parking in Asda car park gives you 3 hours of free parking unless you can get in round the corner in the free all day area (a rare occurrence because of its duration and price), so setting the timer on my phone I wandered.
Walking past the new builds once more, I took a picture; yes, it does bring back so many memories. 
Anyway, intrigued as always by already established paths and roadways which, as yet, lead to nowhere, I wandered down. 
Intriguing.
It looks as if there's a field which could turn into either houses or a mixture of houses and open park land for playgrounds etc. It ends with the main dual carriageway to the M2 so it's not the sort of place if you want quiet.
Looking at my timer I still had another hour and twenty so returning to the car, I made myself a coffee and enjoyed sitting and watching.
Three hours of real heaven being nosy and still practicing maximum social distancing.
The r-rate it between 1.0 and 1.2 so I am quite happy to reduce my contact with others even further. I have a small bubble of two or three and that'll suit me fine.
Roll on some form of vaccine....that works, in the mean time, flu jab booked for the start of October so that'll be one infection I can tick off the possible.
