We are so lucky to live where we do. Right on our doorstep in one direction there’s miles of moorland to explore and when the weather is either to windy, or like this week too hot, we can walk down to the beautiful Healey Dell Nature Reserve. I played down there as a child. Lots to explore and long summer days when we would be out from first thing until tea time and no one worried about what we were doing.
After the horrors of the scenes on tv of people flocking to the beaches with no regard for the safety of themselves or others and the riots at Brixton we needed the peace of our surroundings to balance ourselves again.
A bit of twig racing over the brook. Like Winnie the Pooh.
I put a call out on our local Facebook page for some children’s books for our Garden Gate book basket and look at all these beauties that arrived. I’m having a read of some of them, they’ve got lovely illustrations in.
One lady left some books in this pretty bag. It matches the wallpaper in our utility room. She may never get it back haha.
Speaking of books I’m just on the last pages of this one
It’s a rollercoaster of a read, you really feel for Catrina. I won’t spoil her story for you other than to say it’s hard to believe that she’s still there, in her shed, with her music and books as we speak.
After tea of a big bowl of fresh vegetable pasta, then a walk round down the bridle path and back up our lane, it’s time to settle in for Friday night telly viewing.:
BBC2’s - Monty Don for calm and culture.
BBC1’s - The Other One and Peter Kay for laugh out loud stuff.
Channel 5’s - Great Mountain Railway Journeys with Bill Nighy for escapism.
I always have tons of stuff recorded and I’ve recently fathomed out BBC I-player. We don’t have any fancy Sky packages but seem to get by with what we’ve got. There must be over 150 episodes of Escape to The Country on the hard drive thingymebob to go at yet.
As always stay safe and stay local
