Don't Throw Yourself Down The Stairs.

Image
Friday 11th August 2023 is a night I won't forget in a hurry! The day itself was quite unremarkable after a lovely evening walk around Wentworth the day before. Jane and I went shopping and out for a short walk, so what happened? Well, nothing much on telly in the evening so we decided on an early night. I spent a couple of hours on the computer until I was tired switched everything off and made my way, in the dark, to the bedroom. Or so I thought! Instead of going into the bedroom I stepped off the top stair and went head over heels down the stairs, cursing as I fell. Luckily no bones were broken although there was a fair bit of blood around. Whoops! On a brighter note here are a couple of pictures of Wentworth.

A later start this morning walking from Birdwell to Blacker Hill via Hay Green Lane, and return via Platts Common and Hoyland Lowe. Even though there was a little bit of pavement pounding the rest made up for it. Another 5 miles under my belt. Heading up High Royd Lane from Shortwood. Top of High Royd Lane by the hamlet of, guess what  High Royd. Never pass up a snack!  Met a red fox here this morning, it didn't hang around though. Yep, a stile. Looking Back towards that stile.

Walking Around Pilley and Rockley Farm.

Jane and I had a lovely little walk around Pilley and Rockley that turned into something of a nature walk. Just under 4 miles but it was a nice change not to be walking on my own. it starts with a bit of tree hugging. Then we meet a friendly little squirrel. Towards Rockley. life in a flower. How many Herons? And a selfie with Jane. A few more miles under my belt.
