A Sunday Adventure

On Sunday (our day off!) we all bundled in the car quite early in the morning and headed just up the road for some hill walking. It was such a lovely day, bright blue skies and although we set out dressed for the chill in the air, it was soon warm enough for short sleeves!

A Fairy Stool?

Pretty wooden gates all along the path

Breathtaking!

Definitely a fairy pool! ;)

If only I had ducked! 

On the top!

I love the sharpie addition to the map at the start of the trail!

Definitely a fairy pool - it had a wee waterfall too!

Gorgeous snacks provided by Mother Nature on the slope of the hill. There were so many I was sad I didn't have anything to collect them in as my blueberry jam is a favourite with us!

Smile! Molly - look at the camera!

Molly got a wash in the fairy pool as she'd jumped in a very muddy puddle on the way back down.

Old stone walls dividing up the land.

An Easter Walk

I hope you all had a lovely Easter and a nice holiday if you were lucky enough to have one!
We took a couple of days off at the shop and enjoyed the stunning weather. Wow, what a beautiful weekend it was.
My wee sister made the trip up to our new house for Easter Sunday and she brought her wee puppy Tilly with her. This was our walk along the trail before tucking into a lovely Easter meal.

Happy Easter everyone!

Happy Easter folks! xx
