When you get to the top or in my case near enough - the vista is worth every heart beat and the silence priceless
From nearly the very top and the opposite range of hills lead to the Wainstones which is my next climb! 🧤on a clear day you could maybe see past the wind mills to the Pennines but I’ll check that 🧤

Earlier on
The stone steps lead all the way to the top and it was doable (for me) to get there - I looked like I was going to the shops but it was ok no one else about 😬🧤

Little P resting up the other day but could equally be today! It's a typical gloomy November day with the odd bit of chilled rain so laying down head on pillow surrounded by her pals well all good. The butterflies are on the duvet and pillow cases so not at risk!

Soft faded pink surround the deeper pink heart of this rose once again holding on to a grey wet windy morning at the top of the wildlife garden 🧤the turquoise tub at the rhs holds one of three red Robin shrubs / the leaves turn a deep red at times of the year 🌟

A close up of those red berries Then the blue bee bucket holding the Heather - it serves to weight down the lid of the bin but also be a beacon to draw the eye - the big tree in the background is the mighty Ash 🌟
