It was a lovely day today and after some essential jobs, I decided, quite
late, to try another sketch. I found myself on the road to Middleton, and saw this view. I set up the pochade box and after a
short while met a local farmer. Very interesting chat about past
weather. He could remember the winter of 1947 when he walked on snow which had settled at
telegraph pole height !! The cottage in the distance is Firtree Cottage,
the road to South Dalton via Hotham Hall turns right just before the cottage. Though
quiet, the song of a yellowhammer made me smile, ' ...a little bit of
bread and no cheeeeese..' Huge agricultural machines passed by having
done their work in the huge adjacent fields and horse riders came over to us. A lovely day with D'reen
very much with me in my thoughts.
