Scapegoat

An aerial view of Scapegoat Hill Today has been grey and blustery - typically February with some chilly drizzle thrown in for good measure. Tomorrow and Monday are destined to be clear and sunny as a large high pressure zone settles over The British Isles with zero chance of rain according to the weather people. As it happens, I am home alone because Shirley headed north this morning with four friends to stay in a seaside cottage in Northumberland. I thought that this might be a good opportunity for me to travel north myself - up to Huddersfield and then just beyond.it. Huddersfield is a large Yorkshire town on the edge of The Pennine Hills.

Be the blessing and you will be blessed.  from R's ru...

Having said that, I’ve just watched an interesting case of physical transference as, after Albert had stalked through the house like The LionKing’s Mustafa, Roger, in a fit of teenage temper broke the cat flap window I have nothing else planned today.  Chic Eleanor messaged me about the tulips,  I’m on night’s tonight doing the shift for a friend from Going Gently https://ift.tt/iq6t2mY
