Thats nearly as bad as my garden,   I just paddled up it to get to the wood store.

A gloomy prospect

There was the lightest dusting of snow on the hills at lunchtime....nothing down here in the valley - but the rain stopped.

Good luck with that,  they set something similar up over in the moorings recently and then a few weeks later the local mast installed a new microwave dish and its knocked it out so badly they are digging the grass to install trunking for cabling,   he was not happy when I spoke to him the other day

Fortunately, I've not leased any land access rights to power companies, ISPs, cell phone tower companies, etc. so nothing nearby to interfere with my new setup.  However, I did trench from my dock to the storage/garage and then put the cable inside a PVC pipe to protect it.  So now I get great WiFi service to my storage/garage building.

Nearly as bad as the mud the neighbours builder has left me,    words were said but Im not sure it's helped.    And then we get told he's not coming back for 2-3 weeks to finish taking down the wall as he hasntgot any bricks at the moment.

Nice,    we had some hail that came to nothing,  although snow is on the long term forecast again.

This cell tower was 700m away,    I just had to do a quick measure to check that.

Neighbourly relations sound a little strained

I took the bus up to the Cat'n'Fiddle above Buxton, to see what all the fuss was about.
Very little snow. then quite misty on the top.
Managed to snatch a quick snap with the Pocket2 when the bus pulled up to let off some hikers.

Nice collection for February. It was a tough month.

Looks like you got nearly as much as Bath did then.   Nothing here but the temps this morning had dropped to a couple of C.

I think thats what they thought as well.

It's been a lovely day here, but I've been out and about with the Canon Pro1.
Thwarted by for at the first location. Back to my mediation spot for another go. Still too early in the day.
It will need the afternoon light.

I hope that's not a misprint and you're vanishing
Just had a lovely 8 mile walk to Lyme Park, round the park, and back.
Beautiful day here.

lol,    Varnishing done,   grass cut and trimmed,  some other odds and sods down like the new washing pole hole thingy,  I put one in the other week and made a mess of how straight it was.   

Now for more sins we have to go and order new bedroom curtains. .

Rain here this morning,   totally not forecasted last night and the plans to cut my parents grass just went out the window again.

A damp start to the day, but getting sunnier by the minute. I'm resting today after my trek yesterday.
We're going to nip out and try a new coffee shop. Dentist this afternoon

Lovely footage!!!

Yesterday was a complete wash out,   it briefly stopped and the sun came out long enough to fill a bucket to wash the car,  but when I came out again the sky was black.  Today was quite a misty start.

Brightening again here after a damp start. We're visiting friends today on the other side of Manchester.

Yes, just about. Tomorrow I'm going walking with a more adventurous group. 15Kms around Chatsworth and Rowsley.

Forecast is good. And on Sunday we're taking the bus up to Ladybower. I seem to recall there's lots of blubells in the woods along Fairholm.

Here April is when they start to get going,  then it's just a case on lots of repeat trips until you catch them at their best.

Sett Vallet is the one for me then. A ten-minute walk from Marmalade - the café in Hayfield

Youve got all the best cakes up there.   Although I had a Bakewell blonde tart from lidl the other day and it was particularly good.

We get down to Bakewell occasionally. Avoid Mondays. It's market day and the place is heaving.

Ironically we like a good market,  although I should probably caveat that with usually its an EU market.

Not even a good French or Spanish market?  Purely for food of course,  not the cloths or other tat.
