Winter Moorland

I confess I do find this time of year a challenge, and I swear I can feel my body and soul actually droop as the days shorten. It's as if someone invisible (and a little bit mean) decides to gently wrap me head to toe in thick cotton wool so that general everyday thinking/doing feels way harder than usual. If all I needed to do each day was flollop around on the sofa then this cotton woolliness wouldn't be a problem at all, it would be very cosy in fact. But that's not my life, so I continue to plod my way through these cold, grey woolly days doing all the things that a mum of three school age children needs to do.

One thing I find helps with the woollies is fresh air and gentle exercise, and if that can be taken somewhere with far reaching scenic views then the positive effects are even better. J and I try to take ourselves out into the nearby countryside whenever we can, sometimes just the two of us and sometimes with the Little People trailing along. The weather is often questionable but we venture out regardless and I always feel happier and (slightly more) energised afterwards.

These photos were taken one afternoon last week, a spontaneous decision to head up onto the moors for a quick blast of scenery and fresh air. We ended up walking further than we'd planned, tramping along undulating pathways around the two reservoirs that nestle among the heather, moss and grasses of the high moorland. It was quite brown (oh, how I longed for the purple hues of the summer heather!), but I did really delight in all the rampant moss which was looking very vibrant and fetching. I do so love to see a mossy hillock glowing in the afternoon light. I love moss, I do.

Six miles later, we made it back to the car as the light began to fade. We had to power walk the last mile and a half (it's not easy to power walk over soggy moorland terrain) and only just made it back into town in time for the school pick up. Phew. It was a bit worrisome for a while, but I was so happy that we had gotten out there, to breathe in lungfuls of cold fresh air and stride about a bit. Definitely good for the soul.

I just love your photos and honesty! I struggle through the winter months here in North Carolina and the darkness gets to me at times. I also enjoy getting outside and breathing some fresh air, it almost always cheers me up as well. Glad y'all made it back to pick up the kiddos in time!

Cocoa, knitting and/or a good book gets me through the dark days. I know they will soon pass as the days are going by so quickly anyway and in a few months it will be Spring again. I love the colors of the moors and am envious that you get to walk among them.

Hi Lucy, I just found your blog and would love to subscribe, but there appears to be something wrong with the button. Whenever I click it, it just displays the code for this page.

Hi Lucy,
What a nice way to start and end a day, reading this post. :) Great photos too :)
Thank you for sharing.
Cheers,

These photos tug at my heart strings. I so enjoyed All Creatures Great and Small and these take me right back to that old series. I'm just going to have to buy it, I think. Loved those stories. You're so lucky living where you do and being young and fit enuf to take it all in. I know you struggle with the light. It's undeniably a condition to be wrestled with. My husband has it too. I push him out the door or into his window chair all the time. Carry on. We know you can and will. After all, we need to keep enjoying your beautiful color schemes and art works. We love you, after all. Thank you for all you do.

It is all so topsy turvy, England winter, Aussie summer!

Roll on your spring. I'll just revel in warmth, rays & anticipated sweet peas... ;o)

Lucy, I wish I were still able to come to your Knit n Natter on Friday mornings; we could probably all commiserate about the winter blues! I worked with two ladies who suffered a lot from it and both of them bought the SAD lamps to use at their desks (we were in a basement room with no windows, so no natural light - arrived in the dark of morning and left after sundown in the evening); it helped both of them a lot. I've never had the budget for that, but will get one when possible.

For now, I try to be patient with myself and do a little pampering from day to day. Looking forward to the spring and making plans helps me, too.

I love your photos; they make me feel as though I am there again! I love that you take the time to take them and then share them with us.

Do take care of yourself, will you? You are very dear to so many. And remember, spring is coming . . .

Love and warm hugs. ~ Linne from British Columbia

Oh how I wish I lived next door to you. Those views are unbelievably beautiful. Thanks for brightening my day.

Je vous souhaite une belle journée, BONNE FETE. A bientôt de vous lire sur votre blog. Je vous embrasse.

[Green Girl Gardener]

I’m completely with you with the woolies. I struggle to keep my mood up when everything is so grey and dreary and wet and my head feels like it’s a few steps behind the rest of me. I find a SAD light helps to take the edge of it, but really I just need it to be Spring. Your posts help to cheer an otherwise dreary and uninspiring season though - thank you Lucy xx.

[Eilidh]

Maybe get your vitamin D levels checked, Lucy?

[Nicolette]

Hmmm - so descriptive as usual Lucy, with stunning photos. But I'm wondering if the title is a hint of another blanket? Imagine how those colours would look in soft, squishy yarn...

[Ida]

Beautiful landscape! And why am I suddenly thinking of Jane Eyre??
Take care
