Fresh air and tired feet a little bit of fair-isle

What a glorious day!
After a bit of a discussion how to make the most of the sunshine - we tied on our boots, grabbed our haversacks, camera and some nibbles and set off.

We are so lucky that we can fall out of our garden onto a foot path that heads immediately onto the hills. All that glorious countryside with in a few strides from home.

We crossed over the hills that rise between us and Wycoller and dropped down into the valley to briefly walk through the village. It was heaving with dogs barking, kids pond dipping, ice-cream eating, horse riding day trippers and along with a farmer in his tractor, we wove our way through them all.

A stone bench inviting you to 'sit thi deawn tek a rest', 

ponds full of tiny fish and tadpoles, 

willow weaving and a willow tunnel

We crossed back over hills, along the moor road, only sheep and curlews for company.

And once home - what better way to recover our lovely walk, tea and fresh scones in the greenhouse - bliss.

Hope your weekend was as good as ours and you had sunshine where ever you are!

Oh - and before I forget (This one is for Jane) my knitting is growing!! Ohh I am getting 'grown up' I am attempting beginners fair-isle - look!

Very basic stuff going on but it certainly makes my heart skip with happy thoughts!
