Day 262 - Mile 246


So I started today buying a new TV! The old one has gone to TV heaven (my living room floor 'til next weekend) and a new one is now in it's place! Hurrah! This is hopefully the last in a long line of things that keep going wrong, breaking and generally pissing me off! I am generally known for my optimism but I'm not sure how many more things I can take!

Thankfully my friends and I had decided to go for a walk today even though it was miserable and raining! And it was lovely, lots of laughing, talking and putting the word to rights! A good old natter can really make things better - even if it is in the rain!

Nat, Captin (the dog), Helena, Graeme, Calum, Samuel and I headed out for the famous 'Billing'. This is a hill behind Nat's house that Helena and Graeme used to walk up when they were courting.... altogether now....ahhhhhhhhhhhh...

We passed the boating lake and Captin tried out a bit of swimming, nervously at first, but in the end her got a bit more confident. I wonder who I should ask to see if I could swim here next year?

Through the gates, and over the styles, up to the Trig point, absolutely no hope of seeing any others from here today! It was definitely a 'grim up north' day! We did do a bit of plane spotting though as we were near to the airport. Calum, at the age of 3 is very good at knowing that Red and Silver planes are Jet 2 - that's advertising for you!

Lovely, if a bit rainy photos here.../

Back up through the wood and a quick stop off at Nat's before heading out for our hot chocolate treat! Yummy!

Hope you have all had a nice weekend,

Much Love Iona x
