cracking flags mon.....

 

if this is global warming,will do for me....

 

im of to the beach.

 

ill keep an eye out swimming policemen.

Good?!!! Twas a 5 mile goat track up and down stony paths and through knee high mud.  Took 3 hours and my ankle and knees are fucked. Half metre wide paths with 200 ft sheer drops at the side for 500 yards of it. Was frozen solid when we got to the Stubbins Wharf pub. The wife got it in the neck for a total lack of reconnaissance.  . Not the pleasant stroll through the countryside I had anticipated.

Wow, doesn't sound to great.

For my fortieth birthday, we booked a cottage in the Eden valley. It was minus ten when we arrived and deep snow everywhere.

Wife (familiar pattern) took us on footpath through hills. Part way round we were left with a track around a foot wide with a huge steep drop to a river. Solid ice and with a toddler. I was shitting it.

Bloody windies beat england too!

"Bracing" on Winter Hill

Last time we had a winter this dry and cold (ish) we had a scorching summer. Same happened in US.

White caps on starmount lodge earlier.

 

Dunno if anyone goes that way but if you head towards chorley on the 61 and come off at the junction there are open daffs in the central reservation.

A pair of swans back on the lodge too and they're aggressive!. And Canada geese returning.

Robins scrapping in the garden and Bluetits visiting a nest box for a few weeks.

Someone has an interesting fact about swans at Doffcocker Lodge.

Extremely rare for the wind to be this strong from the east.

 

Making it Baltic too.

Misty cold and grim here this morn with that blast of an easterly coming down from the top of the moor.  Keep warm folks!

Its lovely out. Walked through leverhume earlier, one or two trees creaking. A bloody big beech came down on the slope near the five a side pitch not that long ago; always keep an eye out when its windy down there.

 

Seagulls in next door's garden yesterday.

Wind's dropped, sun's coming out and 7deg over the hill in Wakefield. Very pleasant.

A simple person might wonder why wind doesn't just blow away the fog

And did you google it?

Fuck knows, but it never does round these parts!

At the right temps, the wind causes the air to re-condense.

I'm hardly ever at home. Such pleasures are solo ones these days.

 

I'll try and catch one in a jar and fetch it round though if you like :-)

Always makes me laugh......

Yeah if you could. Give us 1/2hrs notice of your arrival back home though so Mrs Spider and I can get dressed and make the bed
