So it's Reading Week at University, which is basically a grown up name for Half Term, meaning that I have a week off to do as I please! Wishful thinking on my part as I actually have a heavy book list to get through.
I'm lucky enough to call Bath in Somerset my home and this morning I went on one of the many beautiful walks surrounding the area.
Luckily we were given a bit of respite from the rain (Somerset has been one of the areas heavily affected by the recent flooding), and woke up to beautiful blue skies.

After breakfast with a view, we headed out in the car to Horton Village just North of Bath.

Mum was fashioning a Bear Grylls style attire. Just what was in her rucksack?
The February sun was surprisingly warming, maybe Spring really is on its way.

The green rolling hills of Somerset bathed in the Sunday sun were a comfort to my eyes.

We soon hit a slight hitch however.

Weeks of rain had clearly taken its toll, leaving me stuck in a quagmire! Luckily I had my Hunters on, an essential item of any Somerset girl's wardrobe.

They are particularly useful come Glastonbury time!

After being rescued we continued onwards...

Before coming across Horton Parish Church and Horton House, one of the oldest in the country and now owned by the National Trust.

How lovely is this little cottage?

After mounting the hill we reached the top, only slightly out of breath, to survey the wonderful views of the Church below.

As a reward for reaching the top it was revealed what was hidden in Mum's backpack.

A hot drink enjoyed overlooking the hills below.

In the company of our new found friends.

A stylish house for owls we came across on our descent back down. Do you think it can be rented?

We finished the day off with a delicious homemade apple crumble.
