Welcome to my blog!
I've decided to set this up to share a little bit about the walks that we do, what books I read and basically our life in general. I intend to keep adding different links and information along the way, so please come back from time to time and see what there is, and feel free to comment on anything.

Christmas Eve

Yesterday was shopping day. The last day for me to get the turkey and trimmings before heading out for my Christmas Eve walk today. 

So, the turkey's now bought, along with sprouts, potatoes, carrots and parsnips and snacks. 

This morning was time for me to set off and find somewhere to walk. I ended up parking at Grasmere. I nearly didn't go walking as it started raining as I was getting my rucksack ready. But, with waterproofs on I finally set off. I followed the path towards Easedale Tarn and then took the path towards Far Easedale. 




There was a lot of water around, and I had to paddle quite a few times! 


The path started climbing and the wind got stronger and I nearly gave up. But with a brief stop for some hot chocolate and a sandwich I eventually made it up to Brownrigg Moss. 


The view was fantastic, but it was so cold and windy get I didn't stay there long! 


Time to head back down, back through the puddles, crossing the streams using the stepping stones.......


......and back down to Grasmere and the van, for a well earned hot chocolate and piece of homemade stollen. 


And now the chestnuts are cooked and ready to be shelled so that I can make the stuffing tomorrow. 

Have a fabulous Christmas Day, wherever you are.
