10th January, 2016...Happy New Year...it's raining again!!

Happy New Year!First blog of 2016....first walk down to Furness Abbey in 2016....mainly because rain has hampered every planned walk for the last ten days! And it's still terribly soggy underfoot down here.....

 

 

...yes there's only two fo us today...the boy has taken to his bed again with bad tonsils...he has a major panic if I mention that he might need them taken out, so he's living on paracetamol and Strepsils for the moment!

 

 

 

The old guy was 54 yesterday....'why do we have to get old and fat' he says, but he's always up for a spot of afternoon tea chez Abbey Mill Café!!!

 

 

 

The beck has a lot of 'white water' at the moment, and there are even small tributaries developing because of the amount of rain and hail.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

My New Year Resolution....to buy the house next door and join it on to ours...we love our plot and it would be brilliant to extend it....'Pie in the sky' shouts Steve Hillman, but if you know me, you know that my motto is 'Never say never'!!!

 

 

Actually, there was one evening that it didn't rain last week, and we managed to get out and capture a lovely sunset over Hawcoat.....

 

 

 

 

.....we've been promised a 'cold snap' in the coming week.......hmmm....we'll see......
