Saturday welcomed us with a fresh covering of snow which had that lovely crisp freshness about it. After some breakfast I put on some warm clothes and went to fill the bird feeders which is quite a pleasant chore. The feeders are always busy mainly with Tits, Chaffinches and Sparrows. We have nothing like the variety Mr Tootlepedal gets although Mrs Gill reported we had a visit from a flock of Long Tailed Tits recently, which chuffed her no end as they are most definitely her favourites. It is always a great pleasure to look out the kitchen window and watch them feed and know what you are putting out for them is appreciated. After that was done I cleared the path round the house and the steps at the front.
A Walk Round the Lodge
After a really nice plate of bacon and eggs for lunch I decided it was time to make an effort and go out and take some photographs. I headed off towards the Duchess bridge on the path from the Scholars field. This wasn't a good decision as I was as much on my backside as I was on my feet. When I got to the bridge someone had kindly brushed a path over it and it was most appreciated, so who ever you are well done. As I headed up the incline to the left as you come off the bridge I could hear the sound of a chain saw. This was a couple busy cutting firewood at the out house at Langholm Lodge. The walk down towards the South Lodge was quite beautiful, which can be seen in the photos. A Walk Round the Lodge

Enjoyable walk/slide round by the Duchess bridge and the lodge all done from the comfort and safety of my chair (although there is some debate how safe a chair on castors is at sea).
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandy. Hope I can take you around Langholm a few times in the next couple of weeks.
