Posted on January 21, 2013 by Huron 2020

If I didn’t laugh…

Fabulous drive yesterday evening down Mallerstang (part of a weekly journey ferrying the eldest to college and back). Not least the view of the Howgills as the car topped Shap turn off on the M6 – they look stunning in … Continue reading →

On holiday – aka cramming it all into one week

Posted on January 12, 2012 by Huron 2020

Posted on December 9, 2011 by Huron 2020

What a weird week. Snowed in at the beginning. Blown away and flooded out in the middle. And now it’s starting to snow again. This was Upper Wensleydale yesterday. The lake is supposed to be green fields with a road … Continue reading →

Gone in a blur, the countdown to yule

Posted on December 2, 2011 by Huron 2020

This last month has vanished. There’s been a family funeral. A 2 day Conference to attend. Mountains of reports and filing (impossible without stepladders…). Loads of rain, wind. Regretfully no snow topping the hills yet (last year was fabulously amazing!!). … Continue reading →
