Mostly Local

A half decent day today, mild and bright with some sunshine.

I enjoyed a couple of outings up the local fields , on the late afternoon outing, I carried on through the farms and over Soil Hill.

At dusk some big black threatening clouds came over Taylor Lane as I made my way home but fortunately the rain never materialised.

Earlier, after lunch, Sue and I had a short stroll along the Thornton cycle track.
