It has put a lot of rain down overnight and earlier this morning but I managed to dodge the worst of it for a quick walk up to Beacon Fell. I think Angus needed the fresh air the most as he was stuck inside all day yesterday while we were out on Glaramara. Mind you, I don’t think he was complaining too much – he had his feet up in front of the TV when we got home!
I wouldn't normally take flower shots but there was so many Foxgloves out today that I couldn't resist. It must be all the rain that's making them grow.
