At Last!

At long last, after several days of gloomy, cloudy and drizzly weather, we finally woke this morning to blue skies and sunshine. So it was lovely to be out and about again walking this morning. With a slight frost and everywhere being wet, there was a layer of mist hanging in the air which only added to the beauty of the morning.

We set off along the trail  as the mist clung to the hedgerows and hawthorns.

Up Shipley hill, it was rather wet under foot but the sight of Snowdrops already beginning to show some white buds, was enough to gladden the heart. This picture was taken looking along the old Suffragette wall surrounding the hill-top.

Back via Mapperley reservoir and the village, it was great to be out and about again.
