Down Time

Best laid plans and all that...! Having set aside a week for some local adventures and catching up with with friends, I promptly came down with a crippling lurgy. Then shared it with Clare! It's been a feet up, tea drinking blur of time that's not seen us stray far from The Cottage - not quite the local explorations I'd had in mind! Ha ha!

We have been able to get some glimpses of the local autumnal views though - just at a slow pace!

I must be feeling a bit better now though, as I managed to cook an apple crumble last night (with Loddington apples)!

On the plus side, we've both been able to put some time into planning some future adventures - starting with a bike journey next week, once we're back up to strength. Clare has also found us a new climbing destination, that neither of us had even heard of - new bolts to go and clip... More details soon... Plans are still being formed, but it's exciting to have some expeditions on the horizon again. For now though, we'll be keeping the fireside company!
