Favourite 4 from November ❤️ A month of Highlands, Hebrides and Lake District. Taking some time away from normality has been hugely beneficial in so many ways, back home tomorrow and feeling excited to see family and friends 🥰

Drove through Glencoe in the summer and thought it deserved a revisit. Cabin in the woods, dog, kettle, perfect 👌

Isle of Lewis, how did you get so beautiful?

Dreams come true-ish on the Isle of Lewis ❤️

Keep seeing these signs warning of deer, but am yet to spot any ....

Having a few days away in the north. Not doing what I hoped to be doing as feeling incredibly fatigued, physically and mentally. Instead am doing a lot of chilling and just being. And what a great place to do that. A steady walk, dinner at The Lion Inn and watch the dog watching the sun go down ❤️

First attempt at plum jam this evening as our plum tree is absolutely laden. Probably cooked for a little too long as it has slightly caramelised but it tastes ok (if you like your jam with a slight smoky toffee apple taste) 😆 Looking forward to another attempt ...

A few years ago I would have strongly agreed with you but after 27 years of living in Northampton I know I have picked up some language similar to this 🤣😭. I am a bit more chilled about it now than I was, language evolves. I don't like it though

My favourite East Devon woodland walk 😍

It was certainly a different experience, very entertaining 😆

Very supportive spectators at Greendale Farm Shop parkrun this morning 😍😆

Very nice and well within my house hunting polygon ❤️

Thank you lovely. You're probably right. Hope you are ok x

Yes, it'll be 3 months tomorrow, I feel quite drained

Feeling sad tonight. My 2nd DNF of the year. The first one I understood, 73 miles into the LDWA 100, a couple of weeks after my mum passed away. But today, not even halfway into 37 miles of Isaac's Tea Trail, I just couldn't find the mental strength to continue. Lovely route tho'

100th parkrun venue visited today with a little trip to the beautiful Black Rocks parkrun in Derbyshire ✔️😁

Whitby to Pickering yesterday on the Charm Braclet Trail Events Eight Stations Ultra. 30 miles following the North York Moors railway. Tough going on such a warm day 😅

Love it! Shall buy one. It makes me smile whenever I pass by

🤣

It has left a horrible feeling, like having your emotions cheated. Really enjoyed the books (but not the film) and although I can't say this news is a surprise it is such a disappointment

A little of both please, the look great!

Looks like an interesting read 😍

I cannot imagine you are ever lost for either of those things Mark 🤣

We covered .... boys, parents, health, work, home, cool things on hills, Rachel Whitehead's casts of the voids under chairs, Crich Tower, the Pennine Way, long walks, nice bike rides, frustrating people, parkrun, dressing up as a crayon, selling houses, pubs, good places for breakfast, cooking ...

Pavilion Gardens parkrun (Buxton) this morning. Lovely trip out with a friend so plenty of nattering on the way, checked out some Well dressing, sampled the local water, admired the town, ran, drank tea, ate croissant, jabbered all the way home

I shall look forward to seeing that! Great memories of staying there with Sarah when we walked Hadrian's High Way. I didn't stop there when I walked the Pennine Way, I stayed in Garrigill and then Slaggyford. South Tyne Valley is so lovely and quiet, underrated 😍

That is beautiful, you must love where you live Mark!

Your back garden!

Got to be on the outskirts of Alston, possibly near the Youth Hostel? Weirdly I can smell the damp wood and am sure when I passed by I was having a wonderful time 😁

Solway coast from the topside 😍😍
