I'm retired and living in North Yorkshire, where I walk as often as I can, write, volunteer, and travel as often as I can.

Whether I’ll get out today in this fog remains to be seen. Hope all’s well with you as you haven’t published recently. Any thoughts on Six Degrees this month?
There will be no six degrees post from me sadly. Not in a position to focus on writing anything at the moment. (Scarcely reading either – that’s very worrying!) But I’m fine. Many weeks of supporting my parents: both declining, Mum’s had over a fortnight in hospital, much larger care package finally in place, and main carer then tests positive for covid… No worse a situation than many others but it is somewhat all-consuming! Hope all is well with you, Margaret 😊
It is thanks. So sorry to learn that life is tough for you, and for your parents. I hope the care package resolves itself without too much toll on everyone involved – especially you. Difficult times, and I’ll miss you, my ‘mentor’ for Six Degrees – this month, as last month. It takes some putting together, doesn’t it? But it’s fun.
Not entirely sure you’ve convinced me, Margaret, but it does take me back a year or two 🙂 🙂 What is that curious thing in the gallery- looks like the blown out window of an aircraft back in Biggles days. Or am I being over-imaginative? 🙂 Thanks, anyway!
Ah lovely! I needed this reminder! 😊

Apart from oodles of mud, it looks to have been a lovely walk….the birds, the skies and all that fresh air!

Oh, I didn’t realise it needed labelling. Sorry. It’s a skein of geese. They’re the story of our autumn here.

Pardon? Not the geese flying- the image before that. Sorry if I’m being dense 🙂

No, no, sorry, it’s me. We think it’s a disused cattle feeder. Stuff a hay bale in and leave them to it.

Beautiful landscape to take beautiful photographs. And, despite the mud there’s all those deep breaths of clean, fresh, Covid-free air.

I clean mine on a fence post and then leave them outside under the car port! (remembering to check for spiders before I put them on!)

Oh I say. Merely scaping the mud off? Very sloppy. To be fair that’s what I usually do. But this time, I’ve gone for gold, and Done The Right Thing.
