Four more fruit trees planted now! One more apple and our first three pear trees. We put them in a new spot and the ground there turned out to be much nicer (and flatter) so I think they might do well.

Enjoyed our first lantern parade since moving to - was fab.

There must have been over 100 lanterns - all water themed -- we made a crab ๐Ÿ˜

(He's called Wesley Snips and lost the rest of his legs in a tragic (but delicious) hang-gliding accident -- he accidentally snipped the bar.)

Great to see so many people in the village, and supporting all the local businesses.

This short film (though actually an advert) was filmed on our drive last year! That's our gate he's leaning over! That's our rain! It's not our house or kitchen though - the magic of films eh?

Walked the Circular route - on the hills around & to the west of .

I walked it clockwise last summer (and most of the partial walks we do on it are that way for some reason) so we went anticlockwise today. 22.5km/14miles. The views are maybe better clockwise but the hills felt a bit easier.

We stopped in for a drink at the pub towards the last stretch and were rewarded for our behaviour by a fantastic sunset to take us home ๐Ÿ˜

Went on a lovely walk with our neighbour today - over and to Cupwith Reservoir and back via Cop Hill. It was all so beautiful draped in white, and the sunset was amazing. Lots of bird spotting and chatting to random sheep, dogs and horses.

We even saw an elephant! (In the clouds.) (Last pic. I'm not the only one who can see it, right?)

Walked along the Narrow Canal from then joined the Colne Valley Circular at for the walk back towards - a 9mile loop with a few good climbs. Lovely day for it - wet towards Cupwith but not as outright boggy as I'd feared. Also met a good selection of dogs.

So there we are. An interesting walk from just outside to .

(Typing that hashtag so many times has introduced me to the hashtag - it really is!!)

My phone battery is about to go so I'll upload more details later but that was a lot of fun to do - I hope you enjoyed it even a fraction as much as I did. Now to buy towels (still yawn)!

Hey, would you like to come on a walk with me?

It's 2 years today since we moved to (a village in the Pennines) and every time I have to go into , the nearest town, for boring reasons, I walk in to make the trip more interesting. It's 6-8miles and I pick a different route each time to explore the local area more.

Today, I'm going to buy towels (yawn) so let's make the route a good one! It'll be a mix of rural, suburban & urban ๐Ÿ˜€

Slaithwaite looked particularly beautiful in the fog this morning.

There's a lot of lovely cycling in West Yorkshire... but occasionally I discover a gem on my own doorstep. Bank Gate in Marsden is only 200m long, but steep and mossy. "No Traffic": Cyclists: Welcome to Yorkshire.
