Thank you! The wind was strong (and very noticeable in those sections where it was head on) but we definitely had the best of the weather - it’s been blowing a hooley since we got home! Conditions underfoot were pretty much perfect, too 🙂

Patch of deep purple violets growing through the canal side vegetation and mossy masonry.

Looking along a canal through the arch of a brick bridge with metal railings. Dry reefs in the foreground.

Looking along a canal tow path towards an arched bridge. Trees on either side of the canal which has a deep edge of dry reeds. A figure in dark trousers and oranges jacket is on the tow path looking away from the camera.

Good evening! #ThursdayHike 12.3.26 along the Grand Union Canal from Foxton to Market Harborough and back. 11 very brisk miles (have to get that fitness back somehow). Only one moving boat but lots of birds including moor hen, mallard and a cormorant.

Close up photo of a fox in a suburban garden in early spring.

In my garden, three years ago - photo taken on my phone, no zoom required it was so close 😊. Of course, I visit the fox’s garden, not the other way around 😉

Looking across a stone wall into the rough parkland of Bradgate Park, towards small woods on the horizon.

Entrance to the Forest Rock quarried cave, with sheer grey rock face above and to either side.

Good evening! First #ThursdayHike of the year, taking advantage of the warm, dry and sunny weather. 9 miles around Bradgate Park and Beacon Hill Country Park.

The colour palette is mainly mauve, cream and pale yellow. In bottom left corner, text reads « February 2026 » against a watercolour background of a rainy landscape.

Good morning! Saying « hello » to #March with a slightly belated look back at #February

I consult the BBC News app several times a day because I still believe that it’s journalism remains impartial. BBC Verify and InDepth are hugely valuable in countering the swathe of false news and sensationalism out there.
