As an aside the lane we live on seems to have been renamed in the last few years. Talk to any of the locals around here and they'll say the've walked the Sprink and when we viewed the house the first time* it was advertised as being on Sprink lane. The Sprink comes from the word spring as there is a spring on the lane. In fact where the Falconry centre is now used to be a pop factory using the water from the spring !
It was a lovely walk .....
Our new tenants were making chicks as we left
I think this is a hover fly ? (might need to click on the photo to see it full res )
Simple beauty
The valley starting the green up
The dappled woodland lane walk - beautiful.
Got to love the little Wren scuttling about in the lower branches on the slopes
There is the Caldon canal down there ...
Can you spot it yet ?
There you are - super zoom on the camera
The village of Ipstones across the valley from us where I was cycling the other day as part of my exercise....
Lovely to have the cows in the field behind the cottage - they were certainly enjoying the sun and the very green grass. It must taste so good compared to the silage they have been eating all winter.
*We viewed the cottage some years ago and liked it but were not in a position to offer at the time as our house was not sold. The lady we brought it off was the person who purchased it after we viewed and did all the jobs needing doing then decided it was too far from the station for her commute to London so we got the benefit of all of her hard work.... fully how things turn out !
