Nothing spectacular but just a couple to show I'm still getting out on my walks - the second one from about half an hour ago. When I look at the climbs, I do sometimes wish I lived in the Netherlands or even Norfolk.

Yes, but knackered when I get up there.

I don't think I've ever done as much walking.

Good for keeping your blood sugar in check. I walk "briskly" for an hour every evening and if I miss my blood sugar levels are always higher the following morning. My Dr reckons exercise is as important as medication.
Keep at it!

Sorry for asking a question that has been asked before, but I cannot find the answer; what is the process for uploading an image to this message board? Do you have to upload a picture to an external host first? Thanks

A magpie has built a huge nest in the garden on the edge of a branch, which is very unusual.

There are squirrels around so it looks like the ultimate safe place to build.

However I grew up in Padiham and I've seen that no nest is safe there no matter where.

This nest would be pulled down with a rope or attacked with a 15ft branch from the ground.

There's a huge amount of twigs underneath that didn't make it, I tried myself to build something with them but with no success at all.

Even getting two or three twigs to stay together is difficult.

I think they build with wet wood that can bend, when the weather is worse.

Came across a few old friends out walking, stopped to have a chat with them, none of them talked back or slid off into the water, although I must admit I think a couple might have fallen asleep.
