So in those strange days between Christmas and New Year, Hubby was also off work.....which meant we went on a lot of walks.
Left to my own devices I will potter around the house, doing chores, watching TV, eating and playing in my workroom but if Hubby is off he likes to walk and so I walk with him!
On one particularly grey and misty day we walked around Delph and Dobcross in Saddleworth.
We went to visit my Mother-in-law in Shropshire and walked up the Long Mynd...that was a cold but sunny day.....

Driving home that evening we saw the most spectacular sunset!
Thought I'd throw in a photo of my Twixmas Breakfast!
On another day we walked around Heptonstall above Hebden Bridge
I loved the display in the Village Post Office window....
The next walk was on New Years Eve.....
a five mile walk from Malham village up to Janet's Foss, Gordale Scar and Malham cove and back down...
It started with a short tractor ride from the farmers field we had parked in (it is a very popular place and the National Parks Car Park was full) The farmer dropped us off in the village but he carried on to Janet's Foss....

Then we started walking up hill....
We had the most wonderful views from the top.....

| having a rest and enjoying the view |
The lime stone pavement of Malham Cove
Then we took the steps back down to the river that seeps out from underneath the limestone

| Cows taking a short cut! |
Back in the village and a coffee and slice of cake!
This was a short walk near to home one evening....
And this was New Years Day and a walk near Jack's Bridge near and Underbank
The last of the Turkey....
and possibly my most favourite Christmas present.

I had my last few days of freedom before going back to work...
I spent an hour or two pottering and tidying the greenhouse...
and Hubby dragged me out for one last local walk...it was grey and a bit miserable....
but it was better than staying in and tidying my workroom!
So I can't believe I have caught up!
I have done loads of posts in the past few weeks in order to get on top of my blog writing and I have even managed to read a few of your blogs too.
I'm looking forward to sharing 2020 with you.

ReplyDeleteIts always wonderful to get out for a walk even on a dull day but sunshine definitely lifts the spirits higher. So many amazing paths on your doorstep.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Lyn, I am so happy you went out to join your husband ... How beautiful this all was. Thank you so much, love it! And the window scenery of the post office: priceless :)
