It was my birthday last week (I’m now 56 – yikes!) and my sister offered to buy me a new pair of walking boots, since my old ones have finally fallen to bits after about 10 years of use. I’ve been distracted and hadn’t got round to telling her which ones I wanted. That turns [...]
M & M were heading home but we had a sunny spell so they decided to postpone their journey for a couple of hours and drive us to Hollingworth Lake for a little walk. We called in at the Visitor Centre for lunch, then walked slowly round the lake looking at the birds and chatting. [...]
