The lighter evenings mean we can take a walk in the forest when John comes home from work.

Morning at Telegraph

Claypits Bottom


This morning we walked at Telegraph. Although mild it was very windy. There were also a lot of small flies about .After we had walked through the trees we walked along Homy ridge and then down through Claypits bottom , where there is a small stream . I do like some of these forest names. We met a herd of woolly cows and saw some deer.At times we had blues skies but we could see threatening rainclouds and several times it has rained.
Missy found a nice new tennis ball that someone had lost so she enjoyed her walk.

Snow in the Forest.

When I got up this morning it was raining and I was disappointed that the snow hadn't come this far south, but there was a surprise waiting for us at Telegraph. Yes a little bit of snow. At first there was a cold wind blowing and then we had a heavy shower of rain and finally sunshine. By the time we got back to the car most of the snow had gone but the dogs had enjoyed playing init and for a brief while the forest was transformed.

When we arrived at the carpark the dogs were pleased to find some SNOW!

The forest looked very pretty with the light coating of snow

By the end of our walk the snow had either been washed away by the rain , or melted by the sun
