    1. I'm feeling a wee bit better but not 100% yet, thank you Caroline. Hopefully i'll be back to full health tomorrow.
      Dropped on lucky with the Nettle-tap while looking for anything from a whole host of species that frequent Nettles. Think i must have checked every patch i passed :-D

  2. Lovely photos as ever Dean! We walked across the road just for something new to do. I haven't been across there in years. I can't wait for the time when you and Linda can visit again. We'll walk over there. Who knew? Just across the freaking road!

    1. Thank you Peggy. Is that the area close to where Henry collects the timber from?
      Aww, we can't wait to visit again. Just hope it's sooner rather than later :-)

    2. It is directly across the road so yes, where Henry cuts firewood.

  3. I hope the migraine has gone now Dean? I used to get them when I was a teenager so know how debilitating they can be.

    1. I've been alright since this morning,thank you Toffeeapple. The last one i had the other month caused Linda to phone an ambulance due to me collapsing in pain. I just couldn't shift it at all.
