Summer Wandering

The weather is gorgeous here at the moment. Not too hot but pleasantly warm and a gentle breeze to take the edge off. My perfect weather. I took the children for a walk through our village, past the allotments and up past fields of golden wheat to try to find a wood. Well we found the wood but couldn't find a way in! We did spot lots more of the big brown hawker dragonflies I talked about on Monday. Clearly this was where ours had been blown over from. We also found some fur that looked like it had come from a badger, very exciting :-)

I'll have to go back there with my camera some time so I can show you how lovely the view was at the top of the hill, looking out across trees and rolling fields and watching the tractors bringing in the harvest. Very idyllic.

We covered 2.6 miles at a fairly gentle pace but now we're home I think I'm going to follow my cat's example and find a cosy spot to curl up in and do some knitting

I've got another inch of the ribbing to go and then the main part of my cardigan is done. Maybe I can get it done before the end of the Summer holidays?

Happy knitting everyone :-)

  8. I love that purple knit :) We have yet to go hiking through the state park this year. It's on my list of activities but it's a 45 minute drive to get there so that is the challenge.

  10. Your kitty looks just like mine :) I know just the feeling of how wonderful and peaceful it can be on walks just like you describe. It makes me miss the walks I took in the town I used to live in.
