T Stands For........to the top!

 Hi everyone, another week has whizzed by and here we are a T Stands for Tuesday hosted by Bleubeard and Elizabeth at the Altered Book Lover. 

Thursday we were both at the Dentist's for a date with the Hygienist as well as for a dental check up. All was well, although I do not like that the hygienist has use the old traditional method of scraping (no sprays allowed at the moment)

On Friday we went to Lyme Park. we took a map with us so that we could explore more paths. I took quite a few photos ( just saying, you could be here for a while)

Rain was threatening (seems to be the norm!) but we had waterproof coats on to keep us warm as much as any thing else - Lyme is in the Peak District.

First we headed in a familiar direction

..and into the wood.

Buds, moss and...lichens (a sign of clean air)

The blue sky looks great against these trees

Wild Forget me Nots

Going up, away from the wood...

..and looking back at how far we had come.

Looking down over the wood we thought we were on the top of the world

We  weren't

So, onwards and upwards..

The views got even better

We walked past the old cottage and looked out over moorland

Looking out over to Manchester and Stockport it looks as though they may be having a lot of rain

 

We came through the gate and walked along by the wall to a more familiar sight.

On the left is the wood we walked by last time and on the right is the hill with the deer on

Down to the cattle grid that leads to the car park

Here's the top of our car - no one had parked by us so we had a quiet picnic lunch in the car....

...with a coffee to follow of course! Why the silly grin?....I thought I could hide..Ha! Ha!

Do you like my new mug? It's not very nice to drink out of so will be holding pens soon!

I might try and show you some of hubby's close ups later this week.

Thanks for looking, Chris
