Shopping for most of the morning, once great lumps of ice were removed from the car.
A glorious day for an exercise walk and, late morning, we headed off to Sowerby Bridge.
We enjoyed an exercise walk along the canal to Mytholmroyd, where, we also enjoyed a late lunch snack (the snack included apple pie and custard - yum) in the excellent Blue Teapot Café there - before retracing our steps.
I put 4 hours parking on the car at Sowerby Bridge - expiring at 15:58 and we made it back at 15:56 - jammy or what.
(It was the wait for the apple pie that caused the delay)
Late afternoon I had a quick squint at the local fields.
Birds:-
Sowerby Bridge - Mytholmroyd:
(No bins or camera today).
c50 Canada Geese. Grey Wagtail. Great Spotted Woodpecker, Song Thrush.
Heron. A few calling Nuthatch.
Local Fields:
Little Owl.
Stock Dove.
Woodpigeons.
No Gulls in the fields, just a few small Gulls over.
Elsewhere:
A Peregrine Falcon.
(A sky watch, while the car was thawing out this morning, brought with it a large plane just on the camera's zoom capability - Jumbo?)
Snow Forecast:
Listening to radio Leeds on our way home from Sowerby Bridge, Paul the weather man was giving his opinion on the bad weather due.
He reckons that a foot of snow will fall from Thursday / Friday on the top of the Pennines.
Cross Fell at 2930 ft is the highest point in Pennines so is that where the foot of snow will fall?
If so, I wonder how much snow Soil Hill and Bradshaw are in for!!
This snowy period sound like a time for laying down and avoiding .... as the Monty Python Australian wine connoisseur advised (in my youth) for "Perth Pink" :-
