Another Day in Nidderdale

Despite stair-rods of rain battering the windows of my ‘weekend retreat’,

on Greenhow hill,

at dawn,

it eventually drifted away to clear sky and dry.

A stroll round Fewston and Swinsty Reservoirs.

The water was rather low but the fishermen persisted.

Half way round the Church at Washburn serves delicious tea and cake.

Perfect for a break.

By evening a wonderful apology for the wet start from the day shown across the valley.

Rainbow over Greenhow Hill

And true to the promise the morning broke blue,

so I walked down the lane,

with the sheep, after they visited the garden and tasted the flowers.
