The Express puts the usual health issue into the banner headlines to make a huge display on the fact that EU "out" campaigners are now forming up under one banner called "Leave EU" - - -
================================
the new labour leader is going to make a few people happy with the headline on this story Let families claim unlimited benefits , to the people that "pay in" but have never had "a penny" out its not such good news - - -
=====================================
With the Helvellyn idea for Monday Tuesday in my mind i decided a couple of hours walk to Nine Ladies and back was in order yesterday.
the start up the River Bank shows the kind of morning it was
getting a bit of elevation now as i look North up towards Chatsworth
a few weeks ago this view up towards the folly had a grey and misty aspect with only 50 metres visibility
we can see these larch from our cottage and they have looked like they have been expiring all year although this close up i can see some green bits still there
the last bit up to the folly is very steep but thankfully not very long
the stone circle looks to be enjoying the sunshine
as i walk in the woods close by the circle i notice lots and lots of mushroom and this Tawney Grisette is just one of many around in the grass under the trees
on the way back down and another Northerly view up towards the Chatsworth Estate
i had noticed quite a large number of House Martins lower down in the valley on my way up and they look to have moved South along the valley and can be seen in the sky if you click to enlarge this photo. I had thought all the summer Swallows and Martins had been long gone, maybe these are the stragglers
along with the House Martins there were a couple of Buzzards soaring as well
the rough hole filling on this private road can be seen in this shot and this lorry is backing up to the machine laying fresh tarmac down what was a very rough stretch
back down at River level and the Wye water level looks to be really quite low as i cross the bridge
===========================================
I'm off to a "bit of a do" today so no blog tomorrow
