Left of centre. I’m a walker, knitter, gardener and reader. I’ve been retired for a few years now and love it. I’m worried about the environment, I’d like the UK to rejoin the EU.
I made myself a little bracelet to show my support

Lumiere has started in Durham! We had a walk around last night and this is one of my favourite installations so far

Good morning Mushen. I share your pain over sleepless nights, although I managed a lie-in until 5 this morning.
I have, however, spent the day with this lovely boy, so it’s not all bad news.

A nice walk and a nice view (with apologies to teachers of English) although it was blowing a gale and trying to rain.

Hello Mushen. I’ve been volunteering at a Halloween trail this week and today I’m going to go and help dismantle it, so no walking - I’m saving my energy!

It felt like a very early morning walk today, there’s been a bit of a frost. I saw lapwings (I can remember when they were really common). The sky was beautiful.

Damp and mwarm sty on the early morning walk and I came home with wet feet. I can’t bring myself to wear my lovely new boots though 🤷♀️

It’s autumn, but still seems very Green. Photo two taken from our favourite spot in the churchyard.

A beautiful morning, although it feels far colder than the predicted 12 degrees. I got a good look at some geese this morning and will try to identify when I get home.
