Nicola Bulley’s partner, Paul, tried to gently break the news of her disappearance to their two daughters, who are now confused and continuing to ask their grandparents when she is coming home

8.45am – Ms Bulley is understood to have left her £300,000 home in the picturesque village of Inskip to drop her two children off at St Michael’s-on-Wyre Church of England Primary School at around 8.30am.

Her family said the route was like clockwork for the mother-of-two, having parked her car there ‘1000 times’ as part of a daily routine walking the dog through the field 

Nicola would have left her car in the Hall Lane car park before setting off on her regular walk with Willow, which loops around to finish at the same spot.

The pair would have trudged out together before turning left and crossing Hall Lane by the primary school to begin her walk. 

Ms Bulley would often be seen by other dogwalkers along the route every day and was noticeable because she would look so smart in her clothes.

Nicola Bulley’s last known movements have baffled police even six days after she vanished
