Allestree Lake, Derbyshire

A busy day ahead, so this morning Buster and I had to make do with a brisk walkies round the Lake. I say “make do” but it was grand out in the early morning September sun. Although it was early, it was not early enough to catch the low mist over the lake….. just a little lingered but was fading fast.

So here we go a brisk September trot round the Lake…..

A quick dash but invigorating, so with batteries recharged, ready for whatever the day was going to throw at us, it was back home. Home, with a reminder on the doorstep, that autumn really was on the way…. there may be lots of leaves still on the trees, but already a great many on our doorstep

Moody Monday……

Glen Lui

Luibeg, from Derry Lodge, Glen Lui.

Moody Monday, seems to be, a description that fits many a Monday. Nor is it always moody because of the weather….just the starting point of another week, which even if you are not working seems to have a routine mapped out for you. But sometimes it is weather related.

I do believe it was a Monday, a very wet Monday when we walked up Glen Lui, in the Mar Forest, near Braemar, Scotland. But even on a day of relentless rain there was a bright shaft of light as the sun tried but eventually failed to break through. tried
