:: wake up to the bluest of blue skies ::
:: pack a picnic lunch and head out for a walk ::
:: a family outing to climb The Crag ::
:: Follow the track as it winds it's way upwards ::
:: pause for breath and look back to see how far we've climbed ::
:: steeper now, rocks to scramble over as we near the top ::
:: ahhhhh we made it to the top! Sit by the warm rocks to eat our lunch ::
:: remember the last time we came here, in snow and ice ::
:: a cup of tea and a well earned rest ::
:: begin the descent, down the other side across moorland and pasture ::
:: loving the cow parsley flowers, frothing in the hedgerows ::
On the way back we pass one of our favourite pubs, whose beer garden conveniently sits right next to the footpath. We sit and drink beer/lemonade and look across the field to The Crag, and marvel at the fact that we ate lunch up on the very top there today.
Sunday Lunch with A View.
And how lovely it was too.

Blimey Lucy from your heading I thought you were lucky enough to not 'get up' until lunch time on Sunday!!! But then I realise you went for your lunch up on that perfect view - such lovely pictures (as always).
take care,

Dear Lucy:
How lucky you are to be able to walk among this beautiful countryside. How far away are these walks that you take? Do you have to drive to them?Oh to be in England now that spring is in the air! Thank you for taking me on all these lovely walks. Your pictures are great and I feel as if I am enjoying this right along with you.Until the next outing-
Debbie.

The scenery is awesome and stunning! Tks for sharing. Hubby & I should visit Yorkshire the next time we come to UK. The weather looks so lovely too. It's the peak of the hot + humid season in Singapore now and it's impossible to enjoy this kinda outdoor lunch at the moment. :(

Thanks for your blog, Lucy, which I happily found a few months ago. It's been lovely to wander through the colours of your crochet and also to follow you as you visit such beautiful, green places that make me think of Narnia and Lothlorian.I think you should get a commission from the English tourist board. I have been overcome by the desire to wander the paths of English gardens and moors and I blame you!

We took a walk in the rain today - looks like you had a beautiful day! ~Kelly
