an outing to Blacka Moor

Posted on February 2, 2015 by Snippets of a Life

I have a long term plan to visit all eleven of our local Wildlife Trust reserves. I think at one point I planned to do this within a year (possibly 2011), but it’s extended well beyond that year and we’ve … Continue reading →

Merry Christmas! As predicted, it was a lovely quiet day here. We opened gifts, spoke to family, and pottered around slowly making dinner, then pulled on our boots for a late afternoon stomp around the woods (with a quick visit … Continue reading →

yorkshire sculpture park

Posted on November 9, 2014 by Snippets of a Life

Today we’ve been to Yorkshire Sculpture Park, and I don’t know how I’ve lived here for eleven years and not been before. I also don’t know how I managed to take so many photographs (155!) and yet so few pictures … Continue reading →

more wanderings

Posted on October 31, 2014 by Snippets of a Life

We’ve been wandering around the city again. A different side this time, and one I’m not too familiar with, although I have crossed over this river before. This is the River Don, and our walk was another part of the … Continue reading →

sorry fishermen only

Posted on October 21, 2014 by Snippets of a Life

A couple of weeks ago, a friend and I went to Wetlands Animal Park. I’d not been before, and knew nothing about the place, other than it had lemurs and llamas (neither of which seemed very wet). It was quite … Continue reading →

walking round the city (1)

Posted on October 11, 2014 by Snippets of a Life

Today we went for a walk. Along the deeply eroded path through the heather, and up on to the top of the rocks. I love this place. It’s close to the city, and so windswept, and you can see ever … Continue reading →

autumn

Posted on September 8, 2014 by Snippets of a Life

There was a definite nip in the air as I ran this morning. Fallen leaves littered the damp grass and I wished I’d worn a long sleeved shirt. I planned a flat(ish) run down a main road – a fairly … Continue reading →

plodding on

Posted on August 22, 2014 by Snippets of a Life

I’m very pleased to announce that my new camera arrived the other day (still no sign of the old one…). I’m rather pleased with it – it’s a little bigger than the old one but is easy to use and … Continue reading →

picture amnesty

Posted on August 2, 2014 by Snippets of a Life

Every now and again I find myself with a whole pile of photographs that I’ve meant to post and not got round to. Rather than chasing my tail and trying to find time to tell you all about them, I’m … Continue reading →

wandering

Posted on July 12, 2014 by Snippets of a Life

We’ve not been out for a proper walk for ages, so yesterday we pulled on our boots and went out to the peak district for a wander.  It was a funny sort of a day. Hot and muggy, bright, but … Continue reading →
