All I managed to delete today was one picture from
Afterwards I read more of ‘The Brontës’.
Once storm Hermione eased off this afternoon, we took an optimistic forest drive.
Broody skies and damp, pool-laden landscape meant that we saw no
sign of wildlife except a few damp ponies on the outskirts of Burley.
This evening we dined on Jackie’s most tasty liver and bacon casserole; boiled potatoes; crunchy carrots; and firm Brussels sprouts, with which I drank Valle de Eco Malbec 2024.
I’ll take the ponies any day!!
I was determined to get some for you, GP. Thanks a lot
And I greatly appreciate your efforts. You two are the best!!
Nothing wrong with broody weather! Makes for interesting photos.
Thank you so much, Dale
Those are certainly broody skies. Looks like book-reading weather.
Thank you very much, Crystal
Great pictures. Sorry the storm encroached on the day. Another delicious meal.
Thank you so much, Pat
I’m glad you managed to spot a few ponies. On Sunday ‘Country File’ came from the New Forest and learning about the New Forest ponies from one of the owners was very interesting, we also visited the ‘Sick Bay’
Thanks very much, Sue
I love the muted colors in the last landscape photo.
Thank you very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
And we are enjoying a broody day here… which is a peasant change from our recent hot spell, Derrick
Thank you very much, Ivor
You are in good company with the Brontes
Thank you very much, Sylvie
I can feel the dampness in the air 🙁 The ponies don’t seem to mind.
Thank you very much, Rosaliene
Deleting one photo is still progress, and the shaggy ponies are still adorable.
Thank you very much, JoAnna
I can see how dark the sky is, and feel the dampness in the air. Our temps, though mild in the low thirties (F) today, the dampness in in the air was very disturbing. I am glad you were able to take a drive.
Thank you very much, Zakiah
We have enjoyed two such damp days, so I am pleased to see the sun shining brightly today. It looks like a good day to have spent reading.
Thank you very much, Anne
Those clouds, that sky, sure are being moody and broody and taking center stage. 🙂
Your photos of them are wonderful!
We had snow dance down twice yesterday. It was beautiful but most it will be melted by today.
(((HUGS))) ❤️ ❤️
Thank you very much, Carolyn XX
I’ve been reading about this storm on other blogs too. You got good pictures of the wet aftermath.
Thank you very much, Robbie
Dark and brooding as the weather may be, the countryside is still beautiful, Derrick and Jackie. The ponies do look damp, and shaggy. We are almost halfway to the vernal equinox now. It won’t be long before those ponies start shedding those winter coats.
We may get a week of rain mixed with snow here starting Friday.
Thank you very much from each of us, Lavinia XX
Is the The Brontës book you are reading the one penned by Juliet Barker? I decided that I wanted to read about them as well and found it at my library.
Yes. Thanks very much, Rose
Very moody landscapes. Weather has been similar up north.
Thank you very much, Gary
