murky

Just enjoyed an invigorating walk up into the woods - but none of your blue skies we had back in December.  See Wind in our Hair if you want more sun!

fabulous fungi though in Wheata Woods

especially this cute one like a giant hedgehog peeping over the log!

Grey skies from Frank's seat

Through the muddy Prior Royd Woods but then over this little stile

 and the whole windy ridge of St Helena opens up - Oughtibridge down there in the valley

 We're blown to bits but the photos don't do justice to those bracing gusts!

Dark skies over Sheffield - impending storm

and back down we trudge 

for yummy homemade tomato and lentil soup

That little bit of open land at the top of St Helena, with the city spread out below, almost makes up for the bracing sea air we so love!  Hence how my Twitter slogan "Missing the sea, loving the hills" - just about sums it up!! LOVE these Sheffield hills!
