My dogs when I had 2. They had so much fun together!

Yesterday I handed in my notice for end of March. After last few months of health issues & bereavement, I decided I need to take care of myself. So I have decided to retire & spend more time with family & friends with no restrictions. 7 weeks & counting to 'Retired & Roaming'. 🚐💜 xx

Winter at the seaside

Hiking Quote of the Day “I'm losing precious days. I am degenerating into a machine for making money. I am learning nothing in this trivial world of men. I must break away and get out into the mountains to learn the news.” John Muir

Let's go play bally ( sung to the tune of Let's go fly a kite From Mary Poppins )

Today's walk was from Eskdale up to Blea Tarn. Lovely that it was dry and at times sunny.

Trip to Newcastle last week to see Strictly the Show with a friend. Yummy meal at Unos and a very comfortable stay at the Quayside Travelodge.

Muncaster Fell this morning. No rain!

Pretty much done I think and ready for its frame …. #wool

Late afternoon stroll in the calmer weather.

Woh! It's a crazy wind out there!

It was nicely quiet this morning...

Happy Sunday. Photos from yesterday. It was light till 5pm!

Just a short afternoon walk but ohhh my goodness, sunshine and views. At Wasdale Head. The promise of Spring on the way!

Off to see my adult kids. We recently shared a loss that has been difficult to bear, all suffering in different ways, they lost their Dad, I lost my husband, who although separated, remained good friends. We should be grateful for every sunrise & sunset, a start & end of day & memories inbetween 💜xx

Crisp, clear day and a view to mighty Scafell range. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria @lakedistrictnpa.bsky.social

Never mind the time

Morning, midweek already, time goes so quick. Enjoy your day, however you spend it...☕️🤗 xx

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.

This is a truly horrifying account of increasingly likely collapse of essential natural systems which would bring mass food shortages, price rises & global disorder. Commissioned from UK intelligence chiefs but scandalously suppressed by Govt, & sneaked out now while attention is elsewhere 👇

Morning walk.

Flat Fell in West Cumbria today. Good to be out in no rain.

Loving the great outdoors is not all about climbing the summit of the big mountains & getting that summit photo. Just walking through the glen, just being in that moment, with very little effort, can also bring that moment of pure satisfaction & completeness...xx

Morning has broken in #Ireland folks. I’m up in the mountains walking the dog. Will see you all after for #BirdOfTheDay I took this #sunrise today #photography #EastCoastKin

St Bees today

This mornings walk was from Wray Castle, along the western shore of Lake Windermere.

Morning walk up Sale Fell. Lovely to see my first snowdrops of 2026

Sometimes when you least expect it - this fella was just there...as I turned the corner he looked at me and I looked at him. Snap and he was off. Kendal Kingfisher - #FSprintmonday #Sharemondays2026 #Appicoftheweek #SonyAlpha @fotospeed.bsky.social

Got all my TCG cross stitch pieces up onto my Ko-fi; ko-fi.com/werepuppy/sh... These are now available to purchase for within the UK!

Morning, folks... Hope you all have a good week, wherever it takes you. 😎👍 Photo: the path up to Shining Tor, December 2019 #MondayMotivation #PeakDistrict

Morning, a cold Glen walk in the Langdales at the weekend, with the mountains showing off their snowy tops...❄️🥾🥾☕️ xx

A walk of two parts yesterday, Skiddaw via Lonsdale Fell. First stage, cold and dry, then Skiddaw Little Man onwards, a world of snow, ice and little visibility. Air Temperature was around -5 but a lot less with windchill. If you’re off out on the higher fells take care.
