Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
Misty start first thing but since then full sun. I have had a short walk and a sit on traffic duty but that wind spoils it!

Morning Sue! That sounds like a good day, I'm glad you didn't mention the 'visitors' in the loft. That signals to me that they aren't spoiling your visit! You have got out of the country at the right time, starting tomorrow we are back into winter for a few days! https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/...
