Recognising the wonderful things in God’s
world.
In recent weeks I have been out and about with my family
and friends. One of the places I have visited is Burrs Country Park which is
not far from Bury town centre. It’s a paradise for walkers with over eighty-six
acres of unspoilt countryside including walks alongside the River Irwell. It is
a great place to visit for both children and adults alike. There are many
things of interest to see, the magnificent steam engines passing by on the East
Lancs Railway, the lake with a wide variety of fish, apparently including carp.
And from the large to the very small, my grandson was mesmerised with the tiny
tiddlers, which he wanted to pluck out of the lake and hold.
For those of you interested in the industrial past there are the remains of what was one of the earliest mill sites in the area.
But best of all there were lots of muddy places and puddles for Archie and nana to jump and stamp about in.
A visit to the café which is situated in what was the mill
cottages is a must. We enjoyed scrumptious cakes, delicious ice creams and
coffee. Can’t wait for our next visit.
We weren’t the only ones daft enough to go out walking on a
very wet and damp summer’s day. We met many people along the way, anglers, dog walkers,
families, joggers, all of whom were enjoying the many wonderful aspects of God’s
creation. So, the next time you go for a walk, what wonderful aspect of God’s creation
will you recognise?
