@drdeena.bsky.social You’ll be pleased to see our new recruit , Alf, enjoying his first ever trip afloat on the Keswick Launch today! After chatting amiably with the skipper he lay flat out by his feet and snoozed for the whole trip! #GreytBoatdog

Not had chance to do the count yet as Alf and I have been celebrating my umpteenth trip around the sun by walking along Allen Banks! I will do it soon- lots 🦋 around this year.

Sixth edition of the Lecturer’s Toolkit by @philrace.bsky.social @profsallybrown.bsky.social arrived today! And I spotted my first swallow flying overhead in Northumberland: brilliant day so far!

Yesterday in N Lakes some daffodils were out, today in Northumberland it’s pretty snowy and Dora’s having a nice lie in!

Snow here! Elderly Dora so surprised and excited she broke into a canter!

Great to see you both earlier today - and the box of mini pie and sausage rolls is most welcome thanks after walking up the hill with Dora 🐾 to see the lovely sunset (dark before 5- yikes!!!!!).

Found this very welcome little trick-or-treater in our garden on the way back from Dora’s evening constitutional tonight!

Amazingly moonlit night and partial lunar eclipse last night

Sunset and harvest moon tonight are beautiful so we’ve walked up the hill to get a better view- but Dora 🐾 seems less than impressed!

Fog on the Tyne this morning pre #GreatNorthRun. Good luck and take care to all the runners. We’ll be cheering you on from the sidelines!

If you see this, post a bird.

(Owl I met this summer at an historic falconry display at Birdoswald Roman Fort on Hadrian’s Wall. Here she was trying to decide if it was too windy to fly off her perch!)
