The 'premiere' 😂 of my walk around some lanes on the #BlackdownHills, it's almost an hour long (apologies!), as it's done at walking pace. Every time I stopped to take a picture I stopped the video, so my husband stitched it all together. Enjoy! youtu.be/HH29fDodk4U?...

I saw carrots of the colour to my right as I drove #Wilmainthewild #KiaNiro2EV home to the #BlackdownHills this evening, a flash of it as I went over the motorway bridge, passing gate openings to fields, and when there were small gaps in the hedgerows. This was near home.

Leaving work after my late finish, it's the first time that I've switched from my Drivewear sunglasses back to my clear glasses for driving home to the #BlackdownHills. Dusk makes me feel more myopic than I am, but it doesn't help having a cataract that's starting to impact my vision.

There was some lovely skies this evening on my walk back to #Wilmainthewild #KiaNiro2EV and on my drive home to the #BlackdownHills, the light as I drove over the motorway bridge was magical, if only there were places to park up safely.
