Sorry for the lack of content of late , we've been on holiday to the Peak District , the weather was not bad - for November, however everything was very wet under foot and most of our walks were through inches of mud . Back to normal now and my wife dropped me (and the dog) off this morning on her way to work and we walked home via Sizergh fell . Here is Charlie posing on a prehistoric burial mound - it was very very frosty ! .
Here we see another poor photo of the burial mound - I always wonder why my wife is less than impressed by these REALLY interesting landscape features dismissing them as "another one of your bumps in the grass" *- probably cos she's a girl !? .
Charlie pauses in his pursuit of rabbits when he realises I am stopping for breakfast.
It was a rather crushed toast and peanut butter sandwich and two broken digestive biscuits washed down by black tea - I did share with him .
The sun rises .
and a little higher .
Sizergh Castle peeps through the trees , originally a pele tower 14th century I think .
This walk I seem to have a thing about sunrises , out of the sun it was freezing .
Glad it was frosty at least it froze the mud .
Your correspondent with seasonal embellishment (I need longer arms for a convincing 'selfie' ) . Busy cleaning up lots of figures ready for painting , more about this next post.
*I should post some of my very interesting photos of these - that would be fun wouldn't it ?
Looks like a lovely walk. Do Charlie's paws get cold on your walks?

Don't think so ' he has never complained as such : )
DeleteNice sunrise but it looks cold!
ReplyDeleteIt was once you got away from the sun .
DeleteA lovely post. Reminds me of early morning walks with my constant companion and family dog.
ReplyDeleteI do try to make the most of this sort of morning .
DeleteVery interesting and frosty photos of this mornings landscape- nice selfie. 'Digestives' sounds good- were they 'McVities'? They are nice.
ReplyDeleteYes Mc Vites !
DeleteExcellent post... I always like to see the countryside round your way, and as a fellow barrow botherer I can sympathize when other halves just don't get it.
ReplyDeleteYou need the eye of faith with ancient earthworks .
DeleteBeautiful winter sunshine. And more miles past your annual thousand ...
ReplyDeleteYes the weather is brilliant at the moment , I'm aiming for 1200 miles but not sure if I'll make it.
DeleteA splendid looking walk Tony...
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately these days the furthest I walk is to the bus stop... And it is usually raining...
I do like this time of year when there is a frost on the ground...
All the best Aly
I love frosty mornings find them invigorating bit a bit chilly : )
