Looking on the bright side
It was such a dreary day today that I have gone back to Wednesday’s sunny walk for a guest picture from my walking guide, Mark. He certainly chose the right day for the outing. It rained on and off all day today, sometimes quite heavily, and sometimes just a sprinkle. During the afternoon, I emptiedContinue reading “Looking on the bright side”
