After the rain

Janet delayed the start of today’s walking, to miss the rain, so first we went to Wanlockhead and the lead mining museum: could there ever have been an industrial revolution without appalling working conditions and child labour?

Here telecommunications seem to have been take over by the printed word…

This is by what used to be a chapel. Much as I like the Wizard of Oz, it doesn’t have the same guts as Jesus….

But it was comforting in the wet and gloomy weather to be surrounded by hills…

Once we did get going, in the gentle drizzle, Janet found a better route in and out of the Riverside woods, and she found this orchid..

Janet’s quote of the day… “Oh, it’s beautiful now, look, the rain: look, it’s all silvery.”
