Gale force winds and driving rain was the order of the day today which is more like the stuff we are used to up here on the top of the hill rather than that nasty hot stuff that was with us last week.
Needless to say empty skies were experienced throughout the day and all I could manage was this evening in an attempt to catch up to DJS and Jen on the great supermarket bird race was 4 Pied Wagtails in Illingworth Morrisons car park.
