A different walk

Walking a bit later this morning, and a different walk because Janet kindly dropped me off at Windle Edge. Strange to be wandering around on these hills without having walked here. Anyway, I walked home, which was largely downhill…

Trees offer some shelter in bad weather
Lady Shaw Bridge on the old packhorse route for carrying Cheshire salt across the Pennines
Cargoes on the A628. The phone calls asking if I have any pallets for collection have now ceased BTW.
It’s heather time, therefore also blast-a-bird time

On this walk I didn’t see one of these. I just mention it, because there is said to be one who has strayed into this area.

I thank you God,
for this remote, but not-so-remote place,
full of activity,
full of the noise of traffic, windy weather
and startled lapwings,
and full at times
of emptiness and quiet.
I thank you, God.
