August 2017 (Tuesday)
.... 09.00 Oh dearie me .... it’s

It’s overcast, windy (good drying wind) and
cold though the sun should break through by lunch time. I’m going to go for a walk in Balcarres den
....out of the wind among the trees.
Must go, ‘slight flap on’... nearly forgot to have breakfast!

Although I did ‘walk’ the Balcarres
Den from Robin Gray’s cottage, I wouldn’t recommend this ‘Den Walk’... on two
counts. First the bridge, just up from
Robin Gray’s, has reached the state of being dangerous to cross ... there are Warning
notices, and the path is badly overgrown and muddy,.... oops .... that’s three
counts. Having said that I did enjoy
the challenge, but, if I do it again before the winter, I’ll use the
Roe Deer
path... which is more challenging but misses out the fallen bridge. I was rather unlucky today as a heavy shower
of rain passed over just as I arrived at Robin Gray’s... hence the mud. I didn’t have my phone with me as it was on
charge,, but I reckon the distance walked to be about 2 miles. The knee hat I suspect needs to be replaced
stood up well to the effort, though it will be tired tomorrow. Tomorrow I’ll bike more and walk less. My next decent walk will be the ‘eleeven
trees’ road then back home along the top of the cliffs. I forgot to mention that I also walked up to
Chapel Green by way of the beach today.
I am ready for my bed tonight.

Once
again the evening had been the best part of the day .... bright and sunny, but
not
as warm as we’d like it to be.

The city Houston,
Texas is getting its share of rainfall ... and then some. It’s hard to imagine a metre of water
falling in a couple of days, but it has;
it must be frightening for the residents of the city that have been
caught up in the floods.
‘Nae
plans’ for tomorrow, but I don’t think that I’ll be in a hurry to extricate
myself from my bed somehow.
