Terrafirma Travels

We set off from High Bield on the well-worn driving route to Ambleside, parked up and began a walk to Sweden Bridge.  The weather was better than previous days, with low cloud and unremittingly grey skies. But it was dry, though damp underfoot. The walk was fairly easy and with not too much up, though there were some wwt patches with stepping stones. Nic used his trusty poles. The bridge was a fine sight. The return leg went past a force, as they call a waterfall around here. 

Wet weather today as forecast. Had a lazy (!) morning with baths and reading. Lunch in, then rain eased so grabbed an hour outside, a walk past the cake farm as far as the gate by the woods. The autumn colours are finally showing. Bought some cakes, of course, and got mobbed by the chickens. The blackberries this year are non-existent for the first time ever - unripe or fried. Lack of rain I suppose. Home for tea and massive blog catchup. Ann is out a lot today, friend this morning and family this afternoon/evening.  We're off to Zeffs for the final Downton film followed by a veg meal at Fellinis.
