The Park - Sunday 19th December 2010

54 days to go!!  Thank you everyone for donating to the causes. Dave and Rich are taking their training seriously.

Still very cold here, some flurry of snow this morning, but nothing else.  Dave's injections for the trip have kicked in as he was a little under the weather.  It was to be expected, especially after the busy week he had.

So just a really short walk, the usual morning walk that Bob gets before breakfast, only today, we went at 3!
Crossing the main road, and walking over the railway bridge.  It was really icy on the metal bridge but we made it.
Do you see the moor hen?

Linketty Lane

Crossing the road to the park.  I am way behind, as I am trying not to slip.

The Park, St Mary's church and the new housing estate in the distance

Hardwick Woods on the horizon

You can see the moors covered in snow from here

Bob finds a playmate

A beautiful sky

St Mary's Church

Back towards Vicarage rd

The ice has not melted today

Back home safely ( just)  I nearly slipped down here
The forecast for next week doesn't seem to be any better. Good job most of our christmas shopping has been done!

  1. Hi Teresa,

    It's amazing that you have snow and that it hasn't melted. The ice is certainly a nuisance but I guess the snow is good practice for the Himalayas!
    So far we've only had a tiny dusting & it's now gone. However, we are slated for a substantial snowfall for Christmas. That would be fun, we'll see.
    Be well & stay warm,

  2. Hi Vicky,

    the snow and ice are distrupting travel especially on hills. Have just watched a large lorry attempt the road outside our house, and he had to reverse carefully as he couldn't make it.

    so pleased I work from home! ( I think!)

  3. Eeeeee by heck - you soft southerners don't know the meaning of snow :O>
    Hope Dave has perked up after his jabs.
    Take care out and about, always have your walking poles to hang on to when its slippy. I needed mine to make it too the dustbin!
