I’ve tried to write this post 4 times, and every time ended up deleting it by accident. So if I write it outside the app and then copy and paste, it might be safer. Provided WordPress will let me. Which it seems, it will.
Other than my blogging failures, last week was a week when things turned out pretty much as we expected.
Apart from the snow.
OK, not a lot of snow, but a lot for round here, in November.
These were taken at Danebury Hill Fort. We’ve decided we need to get more exercise, so as neither of us is a gym bunny, that means more walks. We haven’t been to Danebury for years, so it was good to go back, and catch the sunset, and that view, from all of 143 metres above sea level.
The only drawback to Danebury is the lack of a cafe in the area. But there are ponies.
Our next trip was our regular outing to the Hillier Gardens – a much longer walk, but with no snow, and much flatter. There is a conveniently placed cafe in the gardens, just half way round, plus another sunset.
No ponies, though. There are pigs, though we didn’t visit them this time.
And wolves.
And finally, on Friday we went to Hinton Ampner. Another place we didn’t go to for years, though we’ve been visiting it quite frequently recently. (When you’ve got elderly joints, you appreciate level, paved paths, as well as cafes.)
Like almost all National Trust properties, it does have a cafe. But no sun, so no atmospheric sunset photos. And no ponies or wolves. But there were some reindeer.
Did you know that male reindeer lose their antlers in the winter? So this lot are all female.
In other news, just as Cheese Minor recovered from Covid, Mrs Cheese Minor and the Very Hungry Caterpillar have succumbed. The VHC is fine, Mrs CM less so. Fingers crossed she doesn’t have it too badly.
Babybel is OK, so far, although I think she rather fancies some time off school. The VHC, on the other hand, is sorry that he’s losing his 100% school attendance record! (If that makes him sound like a goody goody, he isn’t, he just likes school and misses his friends.
