A walk in the mud

Well what a turn around in the weather. Yesterday was all sunshine and a blessed relief from the grey days of winter, and today was like the end of a hurricane, Im so glad we took advantage of the sun yesterday to get a very muddy walk.



When we saw the state of the path we should have been expecting what came next.



Why didn't I buy those wellies instead of snow boots.

But we trudged on over the field and were finally rewarded with this.



And a little further down the path there was this lovely collection on mini fungi.







I bet these aren't there today after that savage wind.



I couldn't resist these lovely old trees against the such a blue sky, I hope they're still standing.



And lastly on our way back home I spotted this lovely fence that they're laying opposite some very swish allotments that we have our name on the list for, maybe one day.



A belated happy New Year to all the bloggers and family who are kind enough to drop in and browse on my blogs.

A walk in the grey

It's very grey around where we live at the moment, but despite my DH nursing a cold and a cough we wrapped up warm and braved a breath of fresh air this morning.

I decided to take my camera despite the gloom and was rewarded with this lovely log, the textures are almost like skin.



And the cows were enjoying the morning, so we felt we should be too.





And on our way home we found a short cut and passed this lovely little brook, so it was worth making the effort. I wonder where we'll go tomorrow.
