I can't tell you how good it feels to be on holiday this week, such a welcome breather and a much needed change of pace after a busy half term. We've been having some lengthy family debate (and uncertain weather) of late, and as a result we've decided to stay home instead of heading off with Connievan. My heart is a little sad but there is still plenty of time yet for Connie adventures in the Summer months.
The past couple of days have been very gloomy and wet, but today we woke to blue skies and fluffy white clouds, yippee!! After a hasty breakfast I rounded everyone up and off we went for a short walk around the reservoir in the next village. It was glorious, so much greenery and such stunning light and reflections. There was much activity at the little boating centre today which made for great watching. This walk suits our needs for mild exercise and scenery very well, and I love how these snaps have become the "outing" equivalent of my Attic view! Look how brown it all is in these pictures! You can see how it looks in Late Summer and Late Winter too.
Beautiful whatever the weather, and whatever the season.

I've been in all day today and feeling more than slightly cranky (hormones and driving rain). Gah!
I shall just sit here awhile and take deep breaths of vicarious pleasure if you don't mind …

The boyfriend just looked over my shoulder and drooled over the sailing ship pictures! There are certainly some great areas in the UK! Ijust booked a advent holiday in Stockholm but I reckon the UK should be a holiday goal in one of the next years too...
Take care

We're North of the Border so no holiday for us this week. Boo. But I won't whinge (too much) since the weather has been well & truly rotten. So it's very nice to see blue skies, all be it on your blog and not outside! This looks a lovely walk with a little bit of everything thrown in for good measure. Perfect. Enjoy your staycation. Summer will be here before you know it.

I love how perfect the blue and green are as a backdrop to those bright sails! Lovely corner of Yorkshire you have there :)
