Lovely day for a bit of R&R after overnight frost.

Great shot Mr. B.!     Looks like it was a really nice weather day, or it was at the time of the shoot.

That was a couple of weeks ago, RDB.
There's a nice walk along a part of the Middlewood Way, to the point at which it crosses the canal, then back along the canal towpath.  
Three watering holes around the route

What's that in the distance? Mansion with an industrial chimney?

It's a former cotton mill. Now restored and re-purposed as office space and coffee shop.

Looks rather nice (and the chimney enticing ;-))

For a POI, or an FPV dive?

Both but I was thinking more about fpv...

Now that's what I'm talking about.  Got to love those watering holes.

I always check 'em out for future reference

Always a good idea.

Nice shot Mr B,     is that one of your coffee shop spots in the mill?

There is a coffee shop in the mill, but I haven't been in yet.

You really surprise me about that. I thought you knew all the coffee places intametly.

I walked past, but it didn't call out to me like some do.
And I was alone - I usually take Mrs.B along for a second opinion.

Windy and wet

I'm beginning to believe that is normal weather for the UK this time of year.

How's the storm doing up there?  Windy and rainy still here but not enough to cause any damage.

Still gusting with squalls of rain. We managed to get home without a soaking by hiding in the cafe until the bus came
Just a bit of footage for the walking group with the Pocket2. but droning has been out of the question this week.

I wish it wasn't true.  

It would have been a great day here to fly a kit for sure. Which reminds me I need to get my owl kite back up in the air as it keeps the gulls away from my dock and not pooping on it all the time.  It's not the most realistic lookiing owl but so far it has worked really well at keeping those pesky gulls away.

This is the second one I bought as I forgot to take the first one down and some 35 mph winds launched it and I have no idea where it landed.  Probably miles away or even in the next county.

Sadly the forecast is not looking good here either,  next few days winds gusting up to 40mph.  And no walk today apart from around the supermarket at its 6am opening time.

It may even be still riding a thermal somewhere

At least it's probably quiet-ish at that time.  How's your back?

The queue was the width of the store,   it will reminiscent of the C19 queues.     

The back is much better and Ive managed to drive OK,   bending is still a pain,  and sitting for too long too.

Crazy shopping queues.  Take it easy for a few days, and hopefully you'll be back to normal soon

Get the boy-scouts in for bob-a-job, to stack it for you.

You may be right about that.  Totally my fault as I should have taken it down the night before the winds were due to arrive.  Oh well, just another lesson learned the hard way.

I can hear it now - I'm free, I'm free, no more tethering for me.  

Beautiful shot on a beautiful day.

It's got to be cut/split first.    It's going to sit at the back of the drive until after Christmas now.
