Morning yawning! 6.5.
Been up since 4.15am, I know, absolutely ridiculous. It’s my own fault though, our walk yesterday afternoon turned out to be a mega long walk, 7.5 miles! We had a lovely time, the weather was glorious until 10 minutes from home. We did a lovely walk along side the River Eden, this particular part is very close to the M6 and it always fascinates me, as I watch the traffic flying by, at the utter beauty of our little city so close to it. We didn’t get home until 5.30pm, I was going hypo, 4 arrow going down, so got on with the tea, then watched telly as per. Only remembered at bedtime that I was supposed to make bread rolls for tonight’s burgers, and cheese scones for my friend ( the one whose husband has just died) coming at 11th this morning! Duh! So when I woke early I thought I’d just get up. Bread maker on, it takes 2.5 hours to make the dough, then I’ve to shape them and let them rise for about an hour before baking. I want them done before the scones go in. Then I probably better have a Hoover through, this friend is very houseproud and there’s never a thing out of place in her house. We’ve known each other over 30 years and I’m sure she knows I’m not the world’s best housekeeper! I do the bare minimum if I’m totally honest. But no one goes home hungry when they’ve visited us! I can’t be good at everything.
Here’s some photos I’m quite pleased with from our walk.
Male reed bunting totally oblivious to the busy motorway close by. It didn’t stop him singing his heart out.
Juvenile longed tailed tit. Very cute. And it’s parent, I suspect, just close by. They are one of my favourite birds.
The River Eden with the motorway just a stone’s throw away.
Have a wonderful Wednesday, we’ve been promised another good day.
