A couple of comfortable, quirky, funny (absurd), mystery reads.
I really enjoyed these. With a caveat that I like Bob Mortimer's comedic style. He presents a strange world populated with ordinary people dealing with odd turns throughout. Great warm fun.

This time last year - a short walk. Along the Penine Bridleway from Greenfield to Diggle. Then up and along Harrop Edge Lane - with some snow drifts - before dropping back down into Uppermill and back along the canal. #Walking #Landscape On the edge of the #PeakDistrict Don't ask which County!

19/11/2024 was also the first snow last year.
Up on Alphin on the edge of the #PeakDistrict before circling back round to Mossley and along the canal to Greenfield.
#Walking Strong wind last year, so windchill temperature felt like minus 10.

Dove Stone Resevoir. Up via Great Dove Stones and Bramley's Cot (a victorian construction - but not known who built it or why). Across to Chew Reservoir and back via Chew road. #Walking #PeakDistrict #Photography #Landscape

(Opened in 1761 it is the oldest 'modern' canal in the UK)

This time last year.
Walking inside a cloud on Grindslow Knoll. #Walking #PeakDistrict. The visibility got worse after this picture. (The second one is from early 2024 at the same spot looking towards Kinder).
