Bradshaw - Soil Hill Circular

Another beautiful warm sunny day today.

We had a bit of a trauma at bedtime last night involving the 'safety' glass on the shower door.

I'm feeling a bit less circumlocutions this evening so I won't bore you with the details but we ended up with a bucket holding 'millions' of little glass bits .

This afternoon 'I escaped' and walked up to Soil Hill over the top path along Ned Hill Track and home via the farms and bog.

Walls have ears allegedly and I was hoping my walls had some made of wheat but they didn't!

Lots of looking but not much seeing today.
