    That rock picking must have been a right workout! It looks like pieces of concrete? Had an out-building been demolished at some point?
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    No, a lot of it is from clearing the stream. Have another bit to do. Hoping to do a walk tomorrow, I call it the Viking one.

    A short 8 mile stroll. Though my ankle is letting itself be known that it’s not a happy duck!
    It was nice to get out and about. Completed this walk before but nice to do it again.

    Well you can at least be glad it's not the rock picking of your first pic!

    Left home at 3.30am, made it here. Friend we were taking away for her 70th (she knew she was going away) has cancelled today. Sigh!
    Silver lining a weekend away with my DDs, could’ve done without the expense. I do get brownie points for going into head office next week. Also think I got zapped with a mobile speed camera, something to not look forwards to in the post!
